Have you tried to install particle-cli with npm on this machine before? The error you are getting is from a directory associated with npm.

Do npm remove -g particle-cli then run the CLI installer again.

Sorry I don't have a series of steps to fix exactly what's going on with your machine. You'll need to figure out why when you type particle it tries to run a script in C:\Users\Faris\AppData\Roaming\npm
