As mentioned , I did this only before but it not got installed and I was getting node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'semver' Require stack: this error, so now I don't wanna take risks – MaNav MaLhoTra Jan 28 '22 at 04:12
yarn global add npm - use this command to globally install npm using yarn – Kavya Murali Jan 28 '22 at 08:53
For windows yarn is not compatible ig? – MaNav MaLhoTra Jan 28 '22 at 09:06

I found this solution:

You need to install npm-windows-upgrade

then use npm-windows-upgrade --npm version 5.5.1

Reference: upgrade npm on windows
