10 ## Updating local packages
11
12 We recommend regularly updating the local packages your project depends on to improve your code as improvements to its dependencies are made.
13
14 1. Navigate to the root directory of your project and ensure it contains a `package.json` file:
15
16 ```
17 cd /path/to/project
18 ```
19
20 2. In your project root directory, run the [`update` command][npm-update]:
21
22 ```
23 npm update
24 ```
25
26 3. To test the update, run the [`outdated` command][npm-outdated]. There should not be any output.
27
28 ```
29 npm outdated
30 ```
31
32 ## Updating globally-installed packages

34 <Note>

37
38 However, please consider upgrading to the latest version of npm:
39
40 ```
41 npm install npm@latest -g
42 ```
