I came across your above question and it is related to my skill set so I will help you in resolving your issue. You just need to follow below steps.

1.You need to install your nodemon globally using below command:

C:\>npm install -g nodemon

2.Then type below command to get prefix:

C:\>npm config get prefix

After the command executes successfully you will get the output like below in your console:

C:\Users\Family\.node_modules_global

Just Copy it.

3.Now you need to Set Path by following below navigation.
Go to your Advance System Settings → click on Environment Variable → Click on New (Under the User Variables) → Then it will display the Pop up form  → just Pass the below values:

4.variable name = path,

variable value = you need to Copy output from your console

5.At the end just Run Nodemon:

C:\>nodemon .
