npm command does nothing - windows

there are a lot of people here asking the same question and I tried almost all the answers but nothing worked for me ..

The problem is , I can't run any npm command, I installed node js from the windows installer here , and when I write any npm command for example: "npm install" or "npm start" nothing happens, I tried reinstalling and removing paths from environment variables but no luck..

I also tried Upgrading npm on Windows from this link , when I write this command

npm install --global --production npm-windows-upgrade

nothing happens , just like any other npm commands.. I tried also fixing this issue by what was written in the same page here but no luck also :(

What seems to be the problem guys ? thank you so much

Those are the paths that I have in environment variables now:

user variables path: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\npm
system variables path: C:\Program Files\nodejs\

In my case it was a problem with a wrong path to a certificate.

My fix:

  1. Open "%USERPROFILE%/.npmrc" file
  2. Delete the line with the wrong path to the certificate

It turned out that there was an old version of Node.js installed on this PC before.

So to solve this problem I had t reinstall and uninstall several versions of Node.js from here until one of then worked..

This helped me
