Install Node.js without admin rights

Hi Folks,
This is a copy paste version of one of the blogs which helped me.Giving due to credit to him.Just wanted a copy of the same with some minor updates.Below is the link for reference
http://abdelraoof.com/blog/2014/11/11/install-nodejs-without-admin-rights/

Step 1: Get Node.exe
First you will need to download the Windows Binary. You can get it from Node.js download page or http://nodejs.org/dist/latest/. For x64, you will have to download from the appropriate folder. Move the executable to a local folder.
Step 2: Get NPM
NPM (Node Package Manager) is the package manager for Node.js and you will need this for your development. You can download NPM from https://github.com/npm/npm/releases and extract the zip file to a local folder.
Step 3: Copy the extracted files in a folder
Copy npm.cmd from extracted folder \npm\bin to the folder where node.exe resides
Now move the extracted npm files in a folder named "node_modules\npm" in the same folder where node.exe resides.
Such that the structure become like this
node (Folder)
|--------- node.exe
|-------- npm.cmd
|--------- node_modules (Folder, copied from the extracted zip) 
               |----- npm
                         |---- bin (extracted files)
                            ..... (extracted files)

Step 4: Configure the environment PATH variable.
You need to set up the PATH variable so that you can call node from anywhere in the system.
set PATH=%PATH%;D:\path-to-your-node;D:\path-to-your-npm
Mostly likely, the usual way of setting environment variables may not be accessible or not sufficient for you. instead you might want to hit Win + R (Open the Run dialog) and execute this:
rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables
This command will provide you with Environment Variables dialog box. You will be able to add/modify the PATH variable for the current user.
Step 4: Testing your Node.js installation
Quick way to test your Node.js installation is to get the version of Node.js that you are running by running the following command:
node --version

Extra: Setting up NPM to work behind a proxy
Apart from the hurdle of not having admin rights, one common issue is working behind the corporate proxy. Fire up your command line and type in the following:
npm config set proxy http://proxy:port
npm config set https-proxy https://proxy:port
If you need to specify the credentials, then use the following syntax:
npm config set proxy http://username:password@proxy:port
npm config set https-proxy https://username:password@proxy:port

Hi All, I came across an issue in JavaScript where i was not able to replace all the occurrences of a string in another string. A simple string.replace would only replace the first occurence. str.replace("hello", 'hi'); We can make a small tweak in the existing code and make it work.Below is an example. str.replace(new RegExp('hello', 'g'), 'hi');
