Wrangler is installed using npm. For Microsoft Windows, you will need to download and install Node.js.

1. Download and install Node.js from https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/. Ensure Add to PATH is selected under Custom Setup.

2. You should now have npm available as a command in terminal.

3. Install wrangler using npm install -g wrangler. You may see the error message npm ERR! code UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY as shown below. If not, move on to step 7.

4. If you encountered the error below, run the following command. npm config set strict-ssl false

5. Run the wrangler installation command again npm install -g wrangler. This time it should complete successfully.

6. Enable strict-ssl again using npm config set strict-ssl true.

7. Check the installed wrangler version using wrangler --version.

10. Check that wrangler in with the expected account and permissions wrangler whoami.
