npm upgrade with homebrew
homebrew, node.js, npm
Solution
Use `npm install` to install a package and `npm update` to update a package.
That Homebrew npm caveat was removed after the issue with `npm update -g` was fixed.
Problem
When node (v.0.10.33) is installed with homebrew (v. 0.9.5), at one point it says: ``` ==> Caveats If you update npm itself do NOT use the npm upgrade command Instead execute: npm install -g npm@latest ``` So, what exactly is `npm upgrade` and what is the difference with `npm install -g npm@latest`? -- edit 2015 the problem doesn't exist anymore with the current version of node. (but I never had an answer to what `npm upgrade` is?)
