How To Update Node Using a Package Manager

  • First Check the version of installed npm using npm -v and then update it to latest version using npm install npm@latest -g
  • To update Node, you’ll need npm’s handy n module. Run this code to clear npm’s cache, install n, and install the latest stable version of Node sudo npm cache clean -f sudo npm install -g n sudo n stable
  • To install the latest released version, use n latest. Alternatively, you can run n #.#.# to get a specific Node version.
