How to update npm? about asdf-nodejs HOT 13 CLOSED

Workaround is to do update the symlinks in ${install_path}/bin to point to the npm-installed one:

# change "8.10.0" to whatever node version you use
cd ~/.asdf/installs/nodejs/8.10.0/bin
ln -nfs ../.npm/bin/npm npm
ln -nfs ../.npm/bin/npx npx

Here's a bash one-liner to do this for all Node.js versions you have installed:

for ver in ~/.asdf/installs/nodejs/*/bin; do cd $ver; if [ -f ../.npm/bin/npm ]; then ln -nfs ../.npm/bin/npm npm; ln -nfs ../.npm/bin/npx npx; fi done

This is not ideal, but it should at least make it work to get you out of possibly-insecure legacy npm versions until #56 is addressed.

@psantos10 yep => #56

cd ~/.asdf/installs/nodejs/9.11.1/lib && npm update npm

from asdf-nodejs.

(I know that this is a very dated issue but somehow I was bitten by this recently in a dated environment and thought to share my experience here)

This is what helped me out:

npm install -g [email protected]
asdf update
asdf plugin-update nodejs
asdf reshim
npm --version
# => 6.1.0

First I had issues like @MOPineyro here #57 (comment) but asdf plugin-update nodejs seemed to do the trick.

Hi @Ihackalot

Did you solve this issue?

I am having the same issue here:

$ node -v
v9.11.1
$ npm -v
5.8.0
$ npm i -g npm
npm i -g npm
/Users/psantos/.asdf/installs/nodejs/9.11.1/.npm/bin/npm -> /Users/psantos/.asdf/installs/nodejs/9.11.1/.npm/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js
/Users/psantos/.asdf/installs/nodejs/9.11.1/.npm/bin/npx -> /Users/psantos/.asdf/installs/nodejs/9.11.1/.npm/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npx-cli.js
+ [email protected]
updated 1 package in 10.787s
$ asdf reshim nodejs
$ npm -v
5.8.0

I trying to restart the console, the computer and nothing changed. Same issue

from asdf-nodejs.

@Ihackalot unfortunately this tip does not work:

$ npm -v
5.8.0
$ cd ~/.asdf/installs/nodejs/9.11.1/lib && npm update npm
$ asdf reshim nodejs
$ npm -v
5.8.8
$ which node
/Users/psantos/.asdf/shims/node
$ which npm
/Users/psantos/.asdf/shims/npm

Same issue 😞

Which asdf version are you running? Try to asdf update and asdf plugin-update nodejs. It works for me running asdf v0.4.3.

from asdf-nodejs.

asdf and nodejs plugin are updated.

$ asdf --version
0.4.3
$ asdf update
HEAD is now at bcc959f Update version to 0.4.3
Updated asdf to release v0.4.3
$ asdf plugin-update nodejs
Updating nodejs...
Already up to date.
$ npm i -g npm

Coming from #56 (comment) workaround by @rstacruz works for me thanks

from asdf-nodejs.

workaround by @rstacruz isn't working for me. Any suggestions as to why?

Wasn't working for me either, did an update of asdf and the nodejs plugin and it now works fine in a new shell.

I believe this has been address under #56 and the related issues.

from asdf-nodejs.

Me too: (I know that this is a very dated issue but somehow I was bitten by this recently in a dated environment and thought to share my experience here)

The only thing that helped me was #57 (comment)

Is this something that was fixed?
