npm was deleted

VallenH

I run npm upgrade -g and it ended up deleting npm completely from my account and I cannot seem to fix it. Can you restore it?

VallenH you can't delete npm, because is installed globally. What error message do you get?

admin `npm
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1228
throw err;
^

Node.js v22.14.0
Could not determine Node.js install directory`

It got removed from the .npm-global completely after the upgrade command and then i tried to re-upload it externally.
This happens every time I run any npm command.
Is it globally deleted for everyone?

Also, how do I upgrade all domains to node23?

Running npm23 seems to work.
I did an alias npm="npm23" but I don't trust it.
