Why isn't anything installing on Node.js? - javascript

Today I decided to try out creating a discord bot in Node.js. When I went to install it, I started getting errors. I started to search the internet to find the solution, when I found out nothing was installing. For example,
C:\Users\aidan\Documents\discord bot>npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

sh: node: command not found - when npm install command on AWS Instance

I want to run a node app on AWS EC2 instance. I installed node through this official method by AWS Doc https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v2/developer-guide/setting-up-node-on-ec2-instance.html.
Then, I can view the version of node and npm but when I give the command npm install on the node app folder , it starts to install a few dependencies and then it fails. with the error as

There are many reasons for your above mentioned error. Like your system don't get the proper path to buildsystem.
Your project's name also matters.
Your CMD's rights matters too like [Run as an Administrator].
Have you initialised your project with npm init? There is also written that package.json is not found. You are installing npm library on your windows root User's directory(here Dell is yours). Don't do that.
Make a separate directory and cd your dir by CMD with Administrator. Initialise your directory with npm init. Then try to install your respective libraries with (i.e npm i bootstrap).
This may help you. And if not, this are the best practices. You should follow, when you working on Node.

Yeoman Javascript error involving 'mkdir'

I'm setting up a Meanjs instance with a Yeoman generator. When I do 'sudo yo meanjs' everything works fine until it looks like it is trying to make a directory and it fails, any ideas on what is going on here?

That is a pretty common error.
Yeoman is running the following:
bower install & npm install
Bower install succeeded, however NPM install is failing because of user permissions. Just run:
sudo npm install
The ZenCoder's answer is spot on, but if you want to permanently fix this permissions error, you can follow the tutorial at: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions
Since you're on a Mac, you could actually avoid npm permissions errors altogether by just installing node instead via homebrew:
brew install node (this will install npm too)
Homebrew installs programs to a directory that doesn't require sudo for write, so you can npm install -g <whatever> freely without it.

In Yahoo Developer Website it is mentioned clearly that Unix-based system is a Prerequisites, but is it possible to install it on windows by using cygwin or mingw.
It's an open issue, sorry about that.
