I installed Node with Scoop and encountered a similar issue. Here's how I resolved it:

  1. Set NODE_PATH Variable: Confirm the npm Global Prefix. This determines where global npm modules are installed. Check the prefix by running:

    npm config get prefix
# In my case: E:\Apps\scoop\persist\nvm\nodejs\nodejs

  2. Right-click "This PC" > Properties > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables. In the "User variables" section, verify if NODE_PATH exists. If not, create a new variable named NODE_PATH with the value as the path to your global npm modules directory (e.g., E:\Apps\scoop\persist\nvm\nodejs\nodejs).

  3. Restart your PowerShell or terminal by closing and reopening it.

  4. Type npm-check -g in your terminal, and you should see something like this :
