Npm is not recognized From Visual Studio

Introduction:

          Recently I am facing the issues in visual studio 2015, when I try to install “bower” using node package manager.

“The term ‘npm’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again”

This issues couldn’t be install anything from package Manager console, So that I have browse lots of things to fixing this issues and finally I got the solution so just my knowledge
