Node update npm error - missing file or directory

I have been trying to update the version of node on my box. When I attempt to do this either by npm update node, npm install node, or npm update node -g I get the following error (path depending on if global or local)

npm ERR! encent ENOENT: no such file or directory, chmod 'path/home/node_modules/nodebin/node'
npm ERR! encent ENOENT: no such file or directory, chmod 'path/home/node_modules/nodebin/node'

Unsure how I would be able to pull through an update when this missing file error occurs no matter what.

After searching and trying different options the best one that worked for me was installing nvm and using that to update node instead, which worked without error.
