The npm update command updates all packages (no arguments), a specific package (with a package name as argument); in the local directory or in the global modules directory (-g argument).

As stated in the npm documentation, sometimes the npm update npm -g command doesn't work, especially if you run an old version of npm, which you are. To really update npm, run this:

$ curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

When I trie your command it says I should update node first. Is there also an .sh file to update node? – Vincent Nov 15 '13 at 20:55

You can use [`nvm`](https://github.com/creationix/nvm) to manage Node versions: install it, then run `$ nvm install 0.10`. – Paul Mougel Nov 15 '13 at 20:59
