If you are trying to install npm(node package manager) do it by downloading it from here: https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm, then you are good to go.

The command you are actually giving is to install a package using npm(check https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install).

Thats why the error shows could not install from "" as you have not specified any package to install.

Npm is already installed. That is why the error message is not Command not found.

The specific command you issued npm install -g attempts to use npm to install the package in the current directory globally.

Leaving the point that installing packages globally is a bad idea aside, this is failing because you are running the command in a directory that does not contain a package. It is your home directory, not one containing a package.json file.

If you don't specify a package to install (like npm install -g nodemon) npm will try to install all packages from the current package.json file. If there is non, npm will throw this error.
