npm installWhat does this command mean and what it does? Only by knowing this can we better locate the source of the problem. Many execution command errors should also be analyzed in this way
What is npm install command?
npm install is a command of Node Package Manager (npm) , which is used to install the required dependency packages in the project. It reads the package.json files in the project directory and downloads the defined dependency packages from npm registry. Before using the code of the dependent package in the project, you usually need to run the npm install command first, and then the dependent package will be installed in the node_modules directory.

Please refer to this article by the blogger " The latest GitHub novice tutorial (Windows Git from installation to use) - detailed illustrations 》
Configure Git environment variables:

When the environment variable is not configuredGit, entering where git in the terminal will prompt that the file cannot be found
Edit system variables—>Path—Enter the path to install Git. The path here is to the cmd directory. For example, your installation directory is a>C:\Program Files\Git, then it isC:\Program Files\Git\cmd
After completing the environment variable configuration, execute the where git command again in the terminal, and you will see that the system has found the gitexecution directory
where git
git --version
