Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you how to
0:03
check the npm installed version inside
0:06
your machine. npm is nothing but it's a
0:09
package manager for handling the NodeJS
0:12
uh packages, third party packages that
0:14
you installed. So the command is simple
0:17
npm- version. Then it will exactly tell
0:20
you which version is installed on your
0:22
system. npm- version. So it is 10.9.2
0:26
for in my case. And you can even do
0:30
where npm. So it will exactly tell you
0:33
where npm is installed. So this will
0:36
give you the full location. So it is
0:39
located inside this C program files
0:42
NodeJS folder. So you can go to the file
0:45
explorer window. Directly paste this
0:48
address. And now you will see inside
0:50
this folder structure we have this all
0:54
these executables. One such executable
0:56
is this npm
0:58
as well. You can see this is your npm
1:00
executable which allows you to download
1:04
any third party package of NodeJS. You
1:07
simply write the command npm express.
1:10
This will install your express package
1:12
inside your project. So this is if you
1:15
still doesn't have npm
1:18
not installed. First of all, you need to
1:20
install NodeJS for this because NodeJS
1:24
is required for npm to work. So it
1:27
basically comes automatically installed
1:29
with uh if you install NodeJS, npm will
1:33
come automatically installed with it. So
1:36
Node is also you must have installed
1:39
NodeJS for npm to work. So as you can
1:43
see, so just install NodeJS and your npm
1:46
will also work. Also check out my
