They now have node.exe that you can download and run directly, no need for cygwin. See nodejs.org.

It seems the easiest way is to get nodejs binaries from http://node-js.prcn.co.cc/. It has the required dependencies like Cygwin, etc. Also you can run npm using command:-

> shell.cmd
> node npm install < package_name >

In the current verion (0.4.1) npm may give DNS error. It is simple to fix. Just create etc folder in the install folder and in etc create a file resolv.conf with the following contents.

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

If you're having trouble trying to install NodeJS on windows I've posted a guide on how to install using Cygwin. Hope it helps! Installing NodeJS on Cygwin in Windows or on Ubuntu Server 10.04

Solution 4:^[4]

It is now possible to install node without having Cygwin. It's actually very simple to do. You can find the instructions here: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation.

I did the manual installation (https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation#manual-install), and it was painless, and worked like a charm.

You can download and run directly from this link https://nodejs.org/download/

To check whether nodejs is installed or not , open command prompt and type node -v, It will show nodejs version

It uses some pre-built binaries which package NPM and Node.js together.

You can just download node.exe from http://node.js and then use node & npm from cmd.exe (search it on the menu)
