I have previously installed node and I can see I have version v4.2.2 on my mac when running node -v. I'm now trying to update to latest version of node as well as install grommet.js
When enter on terminal:
npm install npm#latest -g
or
npm install -g grommet-cli
I get
-bash: npm: command not found
I tried resolving with steps in link below without success:
Upgrade NodeJS to the latest version on Mac os
How should I go about resolving this one?
It's likely that npm might be broken on your system. Might want to try and reinstall npm.
curl -L https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
See https://github.com/npm/npm/wiki/Troubleshooting for additional info.

I'm trying to install Angular on macOS. I have npm 5.6.0 and node 8.11.1 installed. I tried sudo npm install -g #angular/cli, which seems to install it. However, when I type ng --version, I get:
Unknown error: ReferenceError: Invalid left-hand side in assignment
Edit: I also tried this, to no effect:
npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm cache clean or npm cache verify (if npm > 5)
npm install -g #angular/cli#latest
You can use the macOS package manager. In your terminal type:
brew install angular-cli
To confirm your version:
ng --version
I think the best way to install angular on mac is using brew.
1.) Install brew, by typing the following command on your terminal :-
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
2.) After Installing brew, then run following command :-
brew install angular-cli
After Installation, you'll see angular is successfully installed.
To check, Type Command :-
ng version
Delete npm and node, then install them via brew (works perfect on mac os).
See https://brew.sh/
I installed nodejs v8.11.2 and npm v5.6.0 using the command nvm install 8.11.2.
When I opened my system after shutting it down for a while my system and wrote npm -v in the terminal, it said npm is not installed, and to install it with sudo apt install npm.
However when I again entered nvm install 8.11.2, it said that nodejs and npm are already installed and it began using it. Sometimes when opening a different terminal, npm -v says that npm is not installed. And later when I used the command sudo npm install, the output came:
sudo: npm: command not found
So I installed npm with sudo apt-get install npm, but it installed npm v3.5.2 and updating it with npm install npm#latest -g did nothing, i.e., it remained npm v3.5.2.
I need npm v5.6.0 for a project of mine and is clueless on how to get this issue sorted. Please help.

sudo is not, and must not be, used with nvm. nvm is per-user, per-shell.
npm should not be installed by itself; it comes with node. You should apt-get remove it.
If nvm isn't being loaded properly on a new shell, try rerunning the install script, then file an issue on http://nvm.sh, and I'll be happy to help you directly.
OK so, I went to the nodejs.org webpage, downloaded node version 7.5.0, installed it using the easy to use wizard.
It installed with no errors or issues.
When I open up my terminal, node -v gives me v7.5.0, and npm -v gives me 3.6.0.
Obviously I want the latest version of npm, so I go to npm install npm#latest -g, but I get this error:
Cannot find module 'internal/fs'
In fact, trying to install ANYTHING using npm results in the same error.
How do I fix npm?
Try uninstalling your current node version and reinstall using nvm or brew:
To find where node lives: command -v node && command -v npm
Remove these directories as stated in some of the comments here: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/9377
Posting this for anyone passing by. You can use npm up -g to update the npm version. Here's output from my console installing node 4.7.3 via nvm:
user#localhost:~/Desktop/demo$ nvm install 4.7.3

This is on a Macbook
I execute sudo npm install -g npm and get this following output:

npm#3.10.8 /Users/myUser/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/npm
However, when I restart terminal and npm -v, I still get 2.15.9
The nvm tool is most commonly used for managing Node versions and upgrades. Follow the directions here for your platform: https://github.com/creationix/nvm
I installed npm and node via command
brew install node successfully. And the terminal showed the version of npm and node when I typed in node -v and npm -v.
However, when I tried to install Karma via sudo npm install -g karma, the terminal showed npm:command not found. And I turned to /usr/bin, there was no npm there.
What's wrong with my installation? Thanks!
