Error when installing node and npm

I am trying to install npm so I can install less. I just went to the node.js website and installed node. however, when i type npm in the command prompt i get the error:

Error: Failed to replace env in config: ${APPDATA} at C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\lib\config\core.js:429:13 etc.

Any suggestions?

I think node installed because node -v yeilds v0.12.7

You need to configure your 'AppData' environment variable.

https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7468

I just created a environment variable called APPDATA with the value like this:

variable : APPDATA

value :C:\Users\my_user_name\AppData\Roaming\npm;npm
