Trying to install a node.js app

I'm trying to install this through my command prompt in windows.  I made the directory but I cannot get past the npm init-y part.  It says that it's not recognized.

This is an web application, which uses node.js. It similar tophp orh other web server extensions. 
Means you need webserver with node.js enabled and there you can install the solution.
For Windows ist would be an IIS (Internet Information Server / Service).

Not installed. I'm reading now how to install node.js on GoDaddy.
You mean you have a website, which is hosted by GoDaddy?
I assume, "reading" means you found an instruction?
I have another one here:
https://ferugi.com/blog/nodejs-on-godaddy-shared-cpanel/
but it is from 2016.
 
Thank you. But nothing is matching up to the instructions.
You mean the instruction you found, or my article?
As I said, its from 2016.
In the meanwhile, such GUIs have gotten usually a bit more simpler, sometimes it depends also from your subscription.
Maybe the simplest way to open a ticket with GoDaddy to find the right one for your subscription.  
Yeah. I'm going to try that.  I'm very new to this NODE.JS thing. Thank you.
If your application uses node.js, you do not to think about to much about node.js, it is a framework like Dot.Net or php and others. You just have to make sure, that your web server can used it.
Reading from my article from 2016 points me to the fact, that GoDaddy using Linux machines. But if you do not have root access to the machine (what would include, that you have a dedicated server), you can not install something directly into the Linux environment. Some providers offer graphical user interfaces like Plex, where you are able to activate or deactivate such options, others just move the webspace to a different machine, where such component are already installed.
