Steps to upgrade NodeJs version

Raw

So follow these steps to upgrade node:

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/n/versions/node/5.4.1/bin/node /usr/bin/node (the bold text/version should be the one installed in during above step.)

ie if 8.1.1 is installed then do sudo ln -sf /usr/local/n/versions/node/8.1.1/bin/node /usr/bin/node

node –v (Should show updated version now)
