To install node on Windows 10, I downloaded node-v10.15.3-x64.msi from nodejs.org site. Run this msi file and follow the required step to install.
Once nodejs is
installed, npm will also get installed along with it. To check if npm is
installed or not, type npm -v in the terminal. It should display the version of
the npm.

the npm package manager.
npm install -g @angular/cli
After
