Issue to Install "npm 5.x" on Ubuntu 18
Q
Why I can only install "npm 3.5.2" on Ubuntu 18?

A
If you are running Ubuntu 18,
the default "apt install npm" command
will only insatlle "npm 3.5.2:
$ sudo apt install npm ... installing the "npm" package $ sudo apt install npm Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done npm is already the newest version (3.5.2-0ubuntu4).
This is caused by issue inside "apt".
What you can do is try to reinstall both "nodejs" and "npm":
# Complete Un-install $ sudo apt-get purge nodejs npm $ sudo apt-get autoremove $ sudo apt-get update # Fresh install $ sudo npm install -g npm $ npm --version 5.5.1 $ sudo apt install nodejs
