It looks like node.js and/or npm is not installed or cannot be found.

Throughout the install process I got to the step where this command was required: python manage.py tailwind install

The resulting output is as follows:

CommandError: 
It looks like node.js and/or npm is not installed or cannot be found.

Visit https://nodejs.org to download and install node.js for your system.

If you have npm installed and still getting this error message, set NPM_BIN_PATH variable in settings.py to match path of NPM executable in your system.

Example:
NPM_BIN_PATH = "/usr/local/bin/npm"

I have confirmed npm and nodejs are installed via the npm and node commands, both which work out okay and show valid installations. I also made sure to add NPM_BIN_PATH to settings.py, which I set to 'C:\\Users\\MYUSERNAME\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\', still no luck. Maybe a bug?

You need to properly configure NPM_BIN_PATH for Windows, see example here: https://django-tailwind.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#configuration-of-the-path-to-the-npm-executable

As it turns out, I had to add .cmd to the end of my path. It works now. I can actually just set the path to npm.cmd and it works.

Thanks
