Why can't update node.js version via command line?

Question

cmd/bat

At the beginning, I update npm and everything seems to be OK, but then the npm i -gn command does not install the node version manager on my PC and therefore I cannot update it. As I understand it, there are some troubles with the version of Windows, but it is 64 bit and licensed, so it's strange that he swears at it.

*yes, I can download the .exe from the off site and update the node otherwise, but still, why does this problem occur on the command line and how to fix it?

Answer 1

Install nvm - it will solve a lot of problems and save a lot of time

Answer 2

The package you install with the command npm i -g nis https://www.npmjs.com/package/n - it doesn't work on Windows at all (and it's not about licensing or poor operating system). The Readme says exactly this:

Note: n is not supported natively on Windows.
