Well done, we are ready to go. Now you can easily use npx
anywhere in your system.
npx should come with npm 5.2+, and you have node 5.6 .. I found that when I install node using nvm for Windows, it doesn't download npx. so just install npx globally:
npm i -g npx
In Linux or Mac OS, if you found any permission related errors use sudo before it.
sudo npm i -g npx
