• Download NodeJS Portable: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nodejsportable/files/latest/download and unzip/install
• Get node binary (node.exe) from http://nodejs.org/dist/latest/win-x64/
• Create the folder where node will reside and move node.exe to it
• Download the last zip version of npm from http://nodejs.org/dist/npm - http://nodejs.org/dist/npm/npm-1.4.9.zip
• Unpack the zip inside the node folder
• Download the last tgz version of npm from http://nodejs.org/dist/npm - http://nodejs.org/dist/npm/npm-1.4.9.tgz
• Open the tgz file and unpack only the file bin/npm (without extension) directly on the node folder.
• Add the the node folder and the packages/bin folder to PATH
• On a command prompt execute npm install -g npm to update npm to the latest version

Now you can use npm and node from windows cmd or from bash shell like Git Bash of msysgit.
