my node version is 6.10.2, using fedora core 25 64bits. The npm version was 3.10.10
I also create an issue on https://github.com/npm/registry/issues/168
Now, npm is not installed:
npm
-bash: /usr/bin/npm: No such file or directory
I'm following the https://github.com/brock/node-reinstall tomorrow, trying a full node uninstall and reinstall if no other advise found.
I run this npm update since it's the sugested first step for installing polymer-cli in polymer 2.0
