title: How to install Node.js or npm on Xampp
body: <p>I'm new, so please excuse any mistakes.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to develop a web application locally using XAMPP. I intend to deploy using a hosted web service. XAMPP was a very convenient way to get me up and programming without any fuss.</p>
  
  <p>There are several github javascript libraries that look like they can only be installed with npm. Does this mean that I cannot use them? The specific one that I'm currently having a problem with is: <a href="https://github.com/selz/plyr" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/selz/plyr</a>. Or, is it possible to install npm on my XAMPP server? I have a windows machine.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much in advance for your help.</p>
