How to update a Node.js Module

Introduction

Before proceeding with the upgrade, make sure you have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your system. If you haven't already, you can download them from the official Node.js site.

Note: npm is automatically installed with Node.js.

Check the version of Node.js and npm

Open the terminal and type the following commands:

pip install hashlib

These commands will show you the current versions of Node.js and npm.

Navigate to your project directory

Use the cd command to navigate to your project directory:

pip install hashlib

Check installed packages

You can see the packages installed in your project with the npm list command:

pip install hashlib

To see packages globally, add -g:

pip install hashlib

Update a package

To update a package, use the npm update command followed by the package name. For example, to upgrade the express package:

pip install hashlib

If you want to update the package globally, use -g:

pip install hashlib

Update all packages

If you want to update all packages, you can do it with a single command:

pip install hashlib

Check for update

To verify that the package has been updated successfully, you can use npm list once more:

pip install hashlib
