    The core issue: npm is unable to find the directory

    Potential causes:

    • npm might not be installed correctly.
    • The installation path might have been altered.
    • File permissions within the directory might be incorrect.

    Solution:

    1. Check npm Installation
    • Open a command prompt or terminal and type npm -v. If npm is installed correctly, it should output its version number.
    • If not installed, download and install the latest version from the official Node.js website: https://nodejs.org/ (npm is bundled with Node.js).
    1. Verify Installation Path:
    • If npm is installed, check its configured path:
      Open a command prompt or terminal and type npm config get prefix.
    • If the output doesn’t match the missing directory (C:UsersDharavath SumanAppDataRoamingnpm), update the path using: npm config set prefix C:UsersDharavath SumanAppDataRoamingnpm

    1. Check File Permissions:
      Right-click the npm directory, go to "Properties" -> "Security" and ensure your user account has "Full control" permissions.

    2. Reinstall npm (if necessary):
      If the issue persists, consider reinstalling npm:

    • Uninstall Node.js completely.
    • Download and install the latest version from https://nodejs.org/.
