Trying to install LESS/SASS. And getting this error after installing node.js in Linux 16.04. Installed LESS compiler and updatet npm for proceed installing SASS where I failed and now am stuck.

### Followed these steps:

1. sudo apt-get install node.js
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get upgrade
4. sudo apt-get install npm - node packet manager
5. sudo npm install -g less
6. sudo npm install node-sass -g (dind't work)
7. tried: sudo gem install sass

### Then I this error showed up:

$Sudo npm update npm -g 
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js:82
      let notifier = require('update-notifier')({pkg})
      ^^^

Since then I can basically do nothing anymore. Not event do simple command like npm -v'.

That should be fixable by using a newer version of node
