(Note), You may face a problem where it asks you to download NodeJS, npm doesn't exist, or node doesn't exist. If you faced this problem, write 'NodeJS' in your browser, download the files as a Windows installer, and while installing it, if there is any choice where there is 'Add to the PATH' or downloading some necessities, make sure to tick it.
