## Windows Install or Upgrade

You can download a zip file from <https://github.com/npm/npm/releases>, and
unpack it in the `node_modules\npm\` folder inside node's installation folder.

To upgrade to npm 2, follow the Windows upgrade instructions in
the npm Troubleshooting Guide:

<https://github.com/npm/npm/wiki/Troubleshooting#upgrading-on-windows>
Many improvements for Windows users have been made in npm 3 - you will have a better
experience if you run a recent version of npm. To upgrade, either use [Microsoft's
upgrade tool](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/npm-windows-upgrade),
[download a new version of Node](http://nodejs.org/download/),
or follow the Windows upgrade instructions in the
[npm Troubleshooting Guide](https://github.com/npm/npm/wiki/Troubleshooting#upgrading-on-windows).

If that's not fancy enough for you, then you can fetch the code with
git, and mess with it directly.
