yup I don't know what happened it was working a while ago My linux distro is kinda weird.since I'm running a vertral computer on a android device. But I got it to work in a terminal so I can update packages with that. But I will like to update the npm in my vertral linux thing.

we've made some improvements to how global updates work in the time since this was opened. if your current npm isn't capable of installing a new npm, you can always try our install script detailed here https://github.com/npm/cli#direct-download
that script will download and install the latest release for you and only requires a working nodejs installation
