Node: Error in installing npm package

Question

I'm trying to install node.js package with npm but it's giving me that error.

Error: ENOENT, stat 'C:\Users\Zain\AppData\Roaming\npm

did you install this with the normal nodejs.org windows installer? — Mike 'Pomax' Kamermans

Had the same problem today from a clean install as yours. Solved manually creating the

C:\Users\Myself\AppData\Roaming\npm

directory.

Hope it helps

Great thanks user211789. I've done it before your answer by running this npm install -g socket.io.
