• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
• Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
• Show your code!
• Explain what exactly your issue is.

You shouldnt need to be explaining basic Node application setup to people, there are hundreds of guides including our own

'npm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

that's what it says

[keen ether]
