Cypress Installation:
We can install Cypress in many ways, but I recommend everyone to use NPM module to install cypress among the other ways.
For this we need node.js to be installed on your machine, below are the steps to be followed to install npm in windows environment.
Step 1: Install npm in windows:
Navigate to https://nodejs.org/en/download/ url

Extract the zip file and open the extracted folder and double click on the node.exe
Click on Next->Click on Next->Click on Next->Click on Next->Click on Next then click on Finish button on Node.js Setup dialog
