The npm update command updates all packages (no arguments), a specific package (with a package name as argument); in the local directory or in the global modules directory (-g argument).

As stated in the npm documentation, sometimes the npm update npm -g command doesn't work, especially if you run an old version of npm, which you are. To really update npm, run this:

$ curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
