How can I update Node.js and NPM to their latest versions?
There are several ways to update Node.js to its latest version. Here are three methods:
Updating Node.js
Using NPM
You can use NPM to update Node.js by installing the n package, which will be used to interactively manage node versions on your device. Here are the steps:
npm cache clean -f
npm install -g n
n latest
The first command clears the NPM cache. The second command installs the n package globally, which manages the Node versions at the root. The third command installs the latest version of Node.js.
Using NVM
NVM stands for Node Version Manager, and it helps you manage your Node Versions. With NVM, you can install Node versions and specify the version of Node that a project uses. NVM makes it easy to test projects across various Node versions. Here is how to update a Node Version with NVM:
nvm install node --reinstall-packages-from=node
This command installs the latest version of Node.js.
Downloading from the Node.js website
You can also download the latest version of Node.js from the Node.js website. On it, you can find the latest and long-term support versions for your device.
Updating NPM
You can update NPM to its latest version by running the following command:
npm install -g npm@latest
This command installs the latest version of NPM globally.
