NPM not working when setting up NODE/NPM as non admin

Question

I've been following this guide (https://theshravan.net/blog/how-to-use-node-and-npm-without-installation-or-admin-rights/) to try to use Node.js on my work computer.

I have node showing its version but not NPM after following all directions.

Current path is C:\TOOLS\nodejs

npm -v gives the response bash: npm: command not found

Any advice helps! Thanks

On windows, the commands 'node' and 'npm' will only work when the exe are listed under the path variable. If you can't access admin, try:

path to node.exe filename

i.e. C:\Users\lol\path\to\node.exe index.js
