Node.js Error, regarding everything about it really

Every time my team tries to implement something in node.js, this is what happens, any ideas as to how we should go about fixing it? - note that we are new to node

$ npm install express --save

 SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

Just type into your Command Prompt (cmd).

npm install express --save

You're not supposed to type npm commands into the Node REPL. That's for typing JavaScript into.

Type the npm commands directly into your shell.

Oh, and you're not supposed to type the $ either. That just represents the common shell prompt.
