I'm in a bit of a pickle with NodeJS and NPM. I would like to use some NPM modules for developing a simple app. But there is one that I can't seem to run. Increasingly it looks like I may need to update NodeJS and NPM to a later version than the one available in Muon.
I have had bad experiences with using packages versions that are later than the ones in Muon, namely with Mongodb; which ate up a week of my time and resulted in me just using the version in Muon. So I am really hesitant to update Node and NPM for fear of repeating the experience.
My current versions are Node v 8.10.0 and NPM v 3.5.2
Ideally I would like to use the latest stable versions.
How do I safely update Nodejs and NPM so that I don't have a repeat of my lost week with mongo?
