npm ERR! notsup Valid OS:    !win32

n should work in a unix/Linux shell in WSL, but does not work in Windows native shells like PowerShell or cmd.

I tried gitShell on win10 but it failed.

Yes, gitShell has enough BASH functionality for git but I don't think is a full unix shell. (I have not looked at it for a long time.) From the README:

n does not work in native shells on Microsoft Windows (like PowerShell), or Git for Windows BASH, or with the Cygwin DLL.

An answer was provided, and no further activity in a month. Closing this as resolved.
