$env:Path += " C:\Program Files\nodejs\" - Ensures that Nodejs is added to Path for atleast running PowerShell session.

If anyone insists on doing this in PowerShell then here's the way: $env:Path += " C:\Program Files\nodejs\"Ĭmd /c 'del /s /q /f %APPDATA%\npm & rd /s /q %APPDATA%\npm' npm install -g npm list -g Npm list -g - this will show you details of your NPM global profile. Npm install -g - this will install the latest version of NPM available(so no need to install minor versions after this )). Rm -rf $APPDATA/npm - this will purge the old global npm folder completely.

We are using the node version manager (nvm) to download and install the latest version of node.js (with npm included). If the output shows command not found then you are successfully uninstalled. Open your GitBash or Cygwin(I think both GitBash and Cygwin stores the Windows pre-defined Environment Variables and paths in their storage, so this becomes way easy), on any path, and run this one-liner from there: rm -rf $APPDATA/npm npm install -g npm list -g Verify if the node is completely uninstalled or not using node -v command. Since I am all about one-liners, let me make this very damn easy for you. Npm ERR! File exists: C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd

It can be done with the help of following command: brew update. Repository index of homebrew package installer needs to be updated first.
#Reinstall node js mac update#
sudo port selfupdate sudo port install nodejs-devel. 1) Update repository index of Homebrew package installer. This works even if you have a previous version of the package installed. Then it will install the latest version of Node.js. The following will update the local ports tree to get access to updated versions. If you do go and delete or move the files it has listed and you should be able to run npm i -g npm successfully. MacPorts is the other package manager for Mac. I find this step especially important if you had errors in Windows about the path or file name being too long. Now you should be able to run npm i -g npm to update/reinstall npm without any warnings. If you get any warnings about the file path or name being too long skip the warnings. Rename the folder you extracted from the zip to npm Grab the zip and unzip it to your node_modules folder that you just deleted the npm folder from. You can paste that into a folder's address bar and it will take you there.
