For Node.js Upgrade:

Linux/Mac:

The module n makes version-management easy:

sudo npm install n -g

For the latest stable version:

sudo n stable

For the latest version:

sudo n latest

Windows:

Just reinstall node from the .msi in Windows from the node website.

For NPM Upgrade:

Kindly go through npm documentation for windows update.

For Linux/Mac:

You can upgrade to the latest version of npm using:

npm install -g npm@latest

Or upgrade to the most recent release:

npm install -g npm@next

Try to install the nvm first.

Nvm is a script-based node version manager. You can install it easily with a curl and bash one-liner as described in the https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm. It's also available on Homebrew.

Assuming you have successfully installed nvm. The following will install the latest version of the node.

$ nvm install node --reinstall-packages-from=node
