you can try this...
Upgrading to the latest stable version
This will update you to the latest available stable version:
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
Upgrading to the latest LTS version
Node also offers a long-term support (LTS) version. If you need that version (or any other), simply specify the version number you want:
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 4.4.2
Checking your Node version
To see which version of Node is currently installed, simply run:
node -v

My node version is 4.2.6, npm is supported only in 4.7 or higher version. So i couldn't use the commands as you suggested. – Harshitha C Apr 18 '18 at 06:30
