    FYI, you can type which npm.* at a command prompt in windows 10 to see what is found on your path that matches that. It's possible you have a bogus npm.exe or npm.cmd that needs to be manually cleaned up. Commented Aug 18, 2017 at 2:14

All these work just fine for me on Windows 10: npm -v, npm -version and npm --version with NPM v3.10.8. So, I don't think what you are proposing is necessarily required.
i am unable to install any npm package and also npm --version doesnt give me any result.
do you have a package.json file? if not you should run npm init in the command line to create the file; then npm install in the root of your application
