Install NPM from Command Line
I was trying to update my version of NPM using NPM but long story short, a permissions issue allowed NPM to be removed but not re-installed, and thus I was hosed -- NPM was nowhere to be found on "Walshbook Pro." Eeeek. Well, you can install NPM via command line with this command:
