Truffle and npm not working on powershell

Question

I am not able to use truffle or npm commands on powershell even though I have it installed, powershell hangs when I use npm init while truffle is not recognized by powershell at all. I have uninstalled and reinstalled truffle many times but to no avail.

For Npm I have no idea how to remove it, after typing the uninstall npm, I could still access its version.

Here is my npm version:

PS C:\\Users\\user\u0026gt; npm version { user: '1.0.0', npm: '5.6.0', ares: '1.10.1-DEV', cldr: '31.0.1', http_parser: '2.7.0', icu: '59.1', modules: '57', nghttp2: '1.25.0', node: '8.9.4', openssl: '1.0.2n', tz: '2017b', unicode: '9.0', uv: '1.15.0', v8: '6.1.534.50', zlib: '1.2.11' }

Hi i think it had to to wth your NPM cache which you should clean, during development mine was corrupted, i had to clean it.

Moralso, from https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-powershell , do install your npm with npm i -S node-powershell.

It should do work.
