NODE_PATH not recognized at npm start

As insctructed, I cloned from git and installed the dependencies through npm install. Running ‘npm start’ gets me this error, every time. It somehow seems to take NODE_PATH as a command and not a variable. I’m running Windows 7.

$ npm start

> nodejs-express-mongoose-demo@4.0.0 start c:\development\node-express-mongoose-
demo
> NODE_PATH=./config:./app/controllers NODE_ENV=development ./node_modules/.bin/
nodemon server.js

'NODE_PATH' não é reconhecido como um comando interno ou externo,
programa operacional ou ficheiro batch.

PS: The eight line reads in portuguese “‘NODE_PATH’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operational program or batch file”.

Take a look at cross-env

@madhums cross-env saved my life on Windows… Thanks! 😃
