npx doesn't come along with npm@5.6.0?

According to this article, I thought installing npm@5.2.0 will automatically install npx. I just installed npm@5.6.0 but npx is not installed, does it mean I have to run npm i -g npx? I hope npx come with npm by default.
It should have been installed. Try running npm i -g npm. If it still doesn't work, post the output of that command here.
I used nvm to install the latest version of node. Logs below. Maybe it's a problem of nvm? Not sure. But the log told me it installed npm@5.6.0.

That second one is known and fixed in the latest version of npm. As I said before, try running npm i -g npm.
I guess it's a issue with the nvm / latest version of node.
@lzl124631x how did you fix this? I'm having the same problem. Using nvm-windows to manage node/npm versions and not getting npx bundled with the install...
I didn't try to fix. Just installed npx manually. I guessed there were some compatibility issue of nvm and latest node.
