Exec-NPM-Install is throwing error for local nexus

Question

I had been trying to build an app on a Windows 10 OS and I've been given code that I have to run "mvn install" on to build the app. When I do this, I get the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.4.0:exec (exec-npm-install) on
project filter: Command execution failed. Process exited with an
error: 1 (Exit value: 1) -> [Help 1]

POM:
<build>

    <plugins>
        <plugin>

                    </goals>
                </execution>

Stack overflow link i checked, didn't helped: Maven failed to execute goal - cannot run program npm

Can anyone let me know what might be the resolution on this?
