In order to make PM2 work on Windows 7 using NPM, we need to do a few configuration changes

Create a folder to hold the environment config e.g D:\Matt\.pm2 (using cmd to rename with . extension)

Create an environment variable called PM2_Home and set the value for the newly created folder

Run the npm -i pm2 -g to install the PM2

After the installation, the following folders would be created

In order to list the running apps, run the pm2 list or pm2 ls command, which will show the output as shown below

In order to start the node application run the following command

pm2 start index.js
