uninstalled and installed again, gives an error

[Hassanbhb]

hello,

so when i was about to do the login challenge, the git command didn't work, i didn't install git in the first place, so stupid me thought that something messed up when installing , and run npm uninstall -g how-to-npm

but when i tried to install again a bunch of errors appeared like this

npm ERR! Windows_NT 6.1.7601

Could you try the same command with Run as Administrator?
