You are using a quite old version of npm, try to update it. – Gumbotil

You need to update npm.

Use the following command and try again:

npm install -g npm@latest

sudo npm install -g pm2 > sudo: npm: command not found – Jinnah

Weirdly, removing the -g worked (ie sudo npm install pm2). Not sure that's what I wanted though. – Jinnah
