npm update -g
Bummer: Uh, oh. This will update all global packages. You're missing the npm package

So you’ve not included which package you want to update, so you’re essentially telling npm to update everything.
In the following code: npm update -g
The first npm denotes which app/program to use to interpret the commands that follow, update says you want to update a package, and the -g flag is like passing an argument that says “update the global version of the package”. But you’re missing the argument that denotes which package to update.
npm update npm -g is the statement that will allow you to pass the challenge. That one is meta so it’s a bit tricky.
