are-we-there-yet

Trying to install newer version of npm from older version causes an error. Even reinstalling the latest version of node.js does not seem to work.

A more specific bug report would help, just "an error" is too vague. Can you post the exact steps you've taken and the output you get?

Totally inadequate bug report. @Gert25 Start over. What is "an error".

I'm pretty sure this is related to #3540, #3606 and a few others. are-we-there-yet was one of the modules that showed up as evidence of the problem, but not the cause of it. Basically npm changed dramatically between version 2 and 3 and what's in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm (or perhaps another location depending on how you installed Node and on what platform) is a mix of old and new npm files when you upgrade from one version to the other. The easiest solution is to delete that directory completely, rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm and install again.

Hi George

Sorry should not post on stack overflow when I am frustrated. I fixed the
problem and thank you for your service.

Gert

As mentioned above
