I'm trying to install cypress using binary. Currently using below command in vs code: CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=C:\Users\abcd\Downloads\cypress.zip npm install cypress

Source: https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress.html#Install-binary

This is not working for me, showing below error:

CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=C:\Users\abcd\Downloads\cypress.zip : The term 'CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=C:\Users\abcd\Downloads\cypress.zip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. 
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (CYPRESS_INSTALL...ads\cypress.zip:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

Can anyone help me to fix this please? Thanks!

I fixed this with several npm commands:

    "e2e": "npm run e2e:installcypress && npm run e2e:run && npm run e2e:coverage",
    "e2e:installcypress": "CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=/path/to/cypress.zip npm install cypress",
    "e2e:run": "ng e2e",
    "e2e:coverage": "npx nyc report --reporter=lcov --reporter=html",

Now npm run e2e does all 3

Cypress Binary Install

Install a version different than the default npm package.

CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=2.0.1 npm install cypress@2.0.3

Specify an external URL (to bypass a corporate firewall).

CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=https://company.domain.com/cypress.zip npm install cypress

Specify a file to install locally instead of using the internet.

CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=/local/path/to/cypress.zip npm install cypress

Got it to work...by setting UNIX like a path on windows cmd

SET CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=C:/Users/myUserName/Downloads/cypress.zip
