npm install failed at the [email protected] postinstall script

the commands 'npm install' gives me the following error:

` > [email protected] postinstall C:\Users\Nikhil\Music\tab-tracker\server\node_modules\nodemon > node bin/postinstall || exit 0

` As can be seen from the error messages, npm install fails at [email protected] postinstall script. I've tried things like, deleting the node_modules folder and re-running the 'npm install' command again, the same error appears. Also, i tried cleaning the npm cache as suggested by this answer ,and it didn't work. Trying to separtely install nodemon gives the same error as above.

what worked for me is , i updated my windows , which i think it over wrote my computer program paths then i opened the npm.cmd file in C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin
