How to install npm packages in Atom?

I'm trying to add WordPress Coding Standards to ESLint in Atom. Unfortunately there are no package I could add via Atom's installer. I've found one (I think) suitable package here but whenever I try to install it using Windows CMD or XAMPP shell I get "npm is ot recognized as internal or external command". I installed ESLint for Atom, so I've got the prerequisite met. Is it possible to add it to Atom on Windows at all?

Cheers, best regards.

Ok,

I digged into the topic and pparently I didn't have Node.js installed so I couldn't manage any npm packages. After installing Node.js I was able to install WordPress-Coding-Standards. Unfortunately I installed the wrong package at first, which was eslint-plugin-wordpress. After trying to set it up eslint started giving me plenty of errors. Then I found out (with a little help from guys on Github) that there are other WordPress Coding Standards plugin for eslint - eslint-config-wordpress which I installed as well. Now everything works like a charm. It's good to learn something new everyday.

Thanks, Dan.

EDIT

Now above packages are deprecated, use @wordpress/eslint-plugin
