[node.js] sudo: npm: command not found

I also had the same issue in Homestead and tried many ways. I tried with

sudo apt-get install nodejs

I get the following error:

Finally I tried with

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

It worked fine.

root@homestead:/usr/local/bin# npm -v
3.10.10

root@homestead:/usr/local/bin# node -v
v6.13.0
