How to update Visual Studio's NPM?

Question

I navigated to this folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\External

And has opend a command prompt as Administrator with this command

npm install npm@latest -g

Then I issued this command:

npm -v

Result: 1.4.9

Shouldn't it be 3.10.8?

This is my output:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\External>npm -v
1.4.9

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\External>npm install npm@latest -g

Answer 1

Try these steps-

1. Upgrade nodejs from here - https://nodejs.org/en/download/
2. Upgrade npm using - npm install -g npm
3. Check npm version using - npm -v

Also, you can ran "where" to see where (and how many) npm was installed - where npm

See if this helps.
