If you are using new or experimental technology, you have to bring time with you. At least if you try upgrading to a newer version. That could break things and it can be hassle to find the cause of the problem.
Also, if you have problems installing or uninstalling things with npm after you installed something, try upgrading npm. Another app you installed may have changed neccessary npm files and an older version can’t handle them and will throw strange errors.
