This will update npm using npm itself   sudo npm install npm -g   If you are stuck  try sudo npm update npm -g  All credit goes to Tim Castelijns  I have tested it on ubuntu 14 04  npm 1 3 10    Note that if you are using nvm for managing multiple versions in your local dev environment for e g  testing purposes  all your installed versions  listed by nvm ls  are in    nvm  hence you just omit system wide installation  i e  omit sudo    npm install npm -g     DEBIAN ENTERPRISE   For full enterprise practice consider nodesource com      curl -sL https   deb nodesource com setup   sudo bash -   as described here   OTHER ENTERPRISE   For non-debian distributions check out  on the node github wiki https   github com joyent node wiki installing-node js-via-package-manager download page https   nodejs org en download   For historical understanding  Chis Lea was maintaining his PPA but now joined forces with nodesource

Tried the options above on Ubuntu 14 04  but they would constantly produce this error      npm ERR  tar pack Error reading    root tmp npm-15864 1465947804069-0 4854120113886893 package   Then found this solution online   1  Clean the cache of npm first   sudo npm cache clean -f   2  Install n module of npm   sudo npm install -g n   3  Begin the installation by selecting the version of node to install  stable or latest  we will use stable here   sudo n stable   4  Check the version of node   node -v   5  Check the version of npm   npm -v
