When I run the command, I receive the following issue.

npm ERR! code EEXIST npm ERR! path C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd npm ERR! Refusing to delete C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd: is outside C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm and not a link npm ERR! File exists: C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd npm ERR! Remove the existing file and try again, or run npm npm ERR! with --force to overwrite files recklessly.

I worry about forcing it, however that seems to be the agreement online. I have also seen it break on some people.
