Question: update npm version

[Olgagr]

Is there any way to update npm version for particular node version ? Let's say I switch to node version 6.6.0. The npm version is 3.10.3 and I need to have version 3.10.6.

I suppose you can refer to this closed issue: #218

As recommended I did npm install -g npm.

@jewelsjacobs Thanks for answer. This is what I did, but still when I switch the node version with n, I get bundled npm version. For example, I switched to node 6.6.0, I did npm install -g npm, npm -v gave me as expected 3.10.6 but after switching to node 6.6.0 after a while, again I have bundled npm version -> 3.10.3.

@Olgagr did you figure it out?
I have the same issue.

@mesieu Unfortunately I didn't.

For those looking for a solution nowadays, what I did is to specify the npm version manually "npm install -g [email protected]", since npm install -g npm@latest didn't work after switching the node version with n.
