I had the same problem while installing node.js on my Surface Pro 3 (Win 8.1). My solution is the suggestion from pAt and krampstudio; create a folder and make sure the permissions are set.
Steps for Win 8.1:
- Open "File Explorer" and go to the "Your Users" folder. (For you it will be: C: \ Users \ Mykhaylo Vayvala)
- Go to the AppData folder. (This is hidden by default. To open View and check the Hidden Items option, it should appear.
- Go to "Roaming" and create a folder named "npm"
- Right click on the npm folder and select properties, then uncheck the Read Only checkbox.
- Click "ok"
- Open command prompt and now you should be able to run "npm -version"
Hope it helps!
