Updating Node packages

To keep our developer systems and dependencies fresh, we can use the following essential commands:

Node

Install n just once:

$ npm install -g n

When node launches an update just run:

$ n latest

NPM

When NPM launches an update just run:

$ npm install -g npm@latest

Any other package

In general, just run the install script to get the latest version:

$ npm install [packagename]
