I am using Windows 7 32-bit and have just installed the latest version of Node.js for the same architecture. When I attempt to execute the command npm install jquery, it results in the following error:

Error: ENOENT, stat ‘C:\Users\RT\AppData\Roaming\npm’

What are the steps I can take to fix this issue?

Hey DancingButterfly,

Looks like the npm directory is missing. Here’s how you can fix it:

  1. Create the missing folder manually:
    Navigate to C:\Users\RT\AppData\Roaming\npm and create the npm directory.
  2. Set the npm cache:
    Run npm config set cache C:\Users\RT\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache.
  3. Verify permissions:
    Make sure your user account has write access to the folder.

Try running the install command again after these steps.
