how to install NextJs or ReactJs in Window

Solution

  • The issue is likely caused by the prefix setting in your npm configuration. It appears that the prefix is set to "D:\usr\local" in your user-specific .npmrc configuration, which is causing npm to look for directories in that location.

    To resolve this issue, you should reset the prefix value to its default. You can do this by running the following command:

    npm config set prefix "C:\\Users\\user_name\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm"

    This will set the prefix back to the default location, which should be under your user's home directory.
