I install nodejs and npm.
but now I want to update to the latest version, i tried many ways but it didn’t work.
For Node.js Upgrade:
Linux/Mac:
The module n makes version-management easy:
sudo npm install n -g
For the latest stable version:
sudo n stable
For the latest version:
sudo n latest
Windows:
Just reinstall node from the .msi in Windows from the node website.
For NPM Upgrade:
Kindly go through npm documentation for windows update.
For Linux/Mac:
You can upgrade to the latest version of npm using:
npm install -g npm#latest
Or upgrade to the most recent release:
npm install -g npm#next
managing node versions is easy with nvmfor linux or nvm for windows.
the docs for how to install them are available at their respective github repos.
Try to install the nvm first.
Nvm is a script-based node version manager. You can install it easily with a curl and bash one-liner as described in the https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm. It's also available on Homebrew.
Assuming you have successfully installed nvm. The following will install the latest version of the node.
$ nvm install node --reinstall-packages-from=node

According to this page:
https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm
it says:
To publish and install packages to and from the public npm registry or
your company's npm Enterprise registry, you must install Node.js and
the npm command line interface using either a Node version manager or
a Node installer.
Then gives npm install -g npm which won't work cos npm isn't installed.
nvm doesn't work:
nvm install npm
Version 'npm' not found - try `nvm ls-remote` to browse available versions.
Clicking on the nvm link takes you to the nvm GitHub page.
Half way down I found this:
nvm install-latest-npm
which fails with:
nvm install-latest-npm
Attempting to upgrade to the latest working version of npm...
Unable to obtain npm version.
Any suggestions?
nvm is for installing node not npm, npm will be installed
What you're doing with nvm install npm, is attempting to install a node version called npm.
Do nvm install 14, let it run, check for errors, then once installed your have npm.
Just run these scripts and you are good to go.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs
It installs nodejs as well as npm.
Update Node.js version using command prompt
My installed version is
v14.15.1
LTS version is
v14.17.1
Using below two commands
install npm
npm install -g npm stable
install node using
npm install -g node
using command also but the version is not updated
its Works
1. sudo npm cache clean -f
2. sudo npm install -g n
3. sudo n stable
stabilize version installed
You install nvm first (Node Version Manager):
https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
Then you say nvm install <version>.
And when you want to upgrade... it's as easy as nvm install <version>
And you can switch between Node versions:
nvm use <version>`
And by adding a .nvmrc file into the root of your project, you can wire up your shell to automatically switch to the version of Node.js specified in the .nvmrc file.
I was having trouble in updating my npm. I updated my node from v6 to v10. And was wondering what version of npm is installed with the version of v10? or does it remain same ? because in my case it was still showing same old version of npm which is 3.3.12, could not able to update it to 6.5.0. there was some constant error coming which was really annoying every time. So i tried to uninstall node and install it again and again. But it is not working. for people to know i am using windows 7.
The error that i get when i try to update npm using command :
npm install --global --production npm-windows-upgrade
Error: Cannot find module 'internal/util/types'
and when i run : npm-windows-upgrade --npm-version latest ,
i get the error to reinstall node as there was error in installing npm upgrade. Please suggest me what to do
Update node version:
Use n module from npm in order to upgrade node
sudo npm cache clean -f sudo npm install -g n sudo n stable
To upgrade to latest version (and not current stable) version, you can use
sudo n latest
You will be found latest version for both npm and node
How about npm rebuild it? Hopefully, it would help you. If not working, reinstalling node and clearing npm cache could be fixed probably.
I tried to follow the steps of the accepted answer of this link Upgrade NodeJS to the latest version on Mac os to upgrade my node.js version from 6.11.1 to 8.11.2
but after I execute node --version it's still v6.11.1
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n lts
its still no changes.
I tried updating npm to see if it would solve some dependency problems we were having, and now I want to downgrade to the version the rest of the development team is using. How can I install an older version?
I updated npm according to the instructions on the About npm CLI versions:
The latest release of npm
The latest release of npm is the most recent stable version. When you install Node.js, npm is automatically installed. However, npm is released more frequently than Node.js, so to install the latest stable version of npm, on the command line, run:
npm install npm#latest -g
Just replace #latest with the version number you want to downgrade to. I wanted to downgrade to version 3.10.10, so I used this command:
npm install -g npm#3.10.10
If you're not sure which version you should use, look at the version history. For example, you can see that 3.10.10 is the latest version of npm 3.
Just need to add version of which you want
upgrade or downgrade
npm install -g npm#version
Example if you want to downgrade from npm 5.6.0 to 4.6.1 then,
npm install -g npm#4.6.1
It is tested on linux
npm install -g npm#4
This will install the latest version on the major release 4, so no need to specify version number. Replace 4 with whatever major release you want.
Even I run npm install -g npm#4, it is not ok for me.
Finally, I download and install the old node.js version.
https://nodejs.org/download/release/v7.10.1/
It is npm version 4.
You can choose any version here
