This is the new best way to upgrade npm on Windows.
Follow below steps
Go to Window
Type Run PowerShell and open as Administrator
First: Run command ->
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -ForceSecondly:
npm install -g npm-windows-upgradeand then
npm-windows-upgradeNote: Do not run npm i -g npm. Instead use npm-windows-upgrade to update npm going forward. Also if you run the NodeJS installer, it will replace the node version.
- Upgrades npm in-place, where node installed it.
- Easy updating, update to the latest by running
npm-windows-upgrade -p -v latest. - Does not modify the default path.
- Does not change the default global package location.
- Allows easy upgrades and downgrades.
- Officially recommended by the NPM team.
- A list of versions matched between NPM and NODE (https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/) – but you will need to download NODE INSTALLER and run that to update node (https://nodejs.org/en/)
