Stuck at where to input 'cd backend' and 'npm not found'

Web Development

I am stuck at the first step of the project. I downloaded the files but where do I even go to write ‘cd backend’?

Let’s get started by installing the necessary packages. We will set up the back-end first. Navigate to the backend folder and install the dependencies.
You can navigate to the backend folder by using the cd command like below:
cd backend
Next, install the dependencies by running npm install.

Right on task 2, I am asked to " installing the necessary packages. We will set up the root directory first. Within the root directory of starting-code , install the dependencies in package.json ."
Hint: Hint Remember that you can install dependencies in package.json by running the below command in the directory package.json is in: npm install

Question: where and how do I install the packages? the hint asks to run the command “npm install”. where do I do that?
