This might be a totally stupid question, but what does that mean?

    npm install npm@latest -g

    /usr/local/bin/npm -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js
    /usr/local/lib
    └── npm@4.6.1
How do I install it? Or... it's not quite released yet after all?

Edit: nevermind, I found it --> https://github.com/npm/npm/releases this is the 'prerelease' release.




Right now latest still points to v4. You can install 5 with:

    npm install -g npm@5 
Then see:

    npm -g ls npm
Which returns:

    +-- npm@5.0.0


  npm install npm@next -g
works :)
