@sdetweil Thank you very much! This actually worked!

I am not having much luck with this. Been searching and trying everything…

i@raspberrypi:~ $ node -v
v10.15.2
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm -v
bash: npm: command not found

I’ve used this to update npm:

npm install npm@latest -g

sdetweil

@bminer1 yes, they split the npm install off from the node install… so you have to do two now

sudo apt-get install npm
then sudo npm i -g npm ( as it updated the usr/lib folder)

sdetweil

@EdO he doesn’t have npm yet… see my post above

This website was exactly what i needed to get the latest version and it worked.

@bminer1 in the future if you use the installer, it will handle this

I went through all of the avenues and this was the only way it stuck.
I am creating a second MM Pi so ill try it again on this Pi.

@bminer1 use the new installer script
