'npm' install issue? - LC_LLC - 01-23-2018

Hey there... I just downloaded Gekko, and was trying to install it. I am not very familiar with dealing with Command Line stuff, so I don't exactly know what I'm doing. I was following the YouTube video put out by Mike, and I got as far as the "npm install" command, at which point I get the error message, " 'npm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file". Can someone tell me what this means, and what to do about it? Thanks.

The node installer probably didn't install the PATH for regular command prompt.

So you would need to run node.js or node.js command prompt.

You can also take your time to run the node installation again and change the settings to install the PATH.

I made a YouTube video showing step by step how to install it. I didn't add the additional indicators though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WiIkIIVnps
