npm can't find in my cmd after I install using nvm

Question

I install npm using nvm by doing 'nvm install 6.11.2'. It said the installation is successful. But when I execute 'npm' in my prompt. It said command not found.

Where does nvm install npm? so that i can update the path for cmd.

C:\Users\john>nvm install 6.11.2 Downloading node.js version 6.11.2 (64-bit)... Complete Creating C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\nvm\temp Downloading npm version 3.10.10... Complete Installing npm v3.10.10... Installation complete. If you want to use this version, type nvm use 6.11.2 C:\Users\john> npm 'npm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

For nvm version 1.1.7

Usage: nvm on : Enable node.js version management. nvm off : Disable node.js version management.

Try nvm on .

You need to open a new command prompt to pick up the new environment variables.

For people who use nvm 1.1.5, just upgrade to nvm 1.1.7 then it works.
