I keep getting an error with npm.

I have just reinstalled node on OSX El Capitan and I keep getting this error when ever I try to run the npm command:

module.js:328 throw err; ^

Error: Cannot find module 'minimatch' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:326:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:277:25) at Module.require (module.js:354:17) at require (internal/module.js:12:17) at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/rimraf/node_modules/glob/glob.js:44:17) at Module._compile (module.js:398:26) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:405:10) at Module.load (module.js:344:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:301:12) at Module.require (module.js:354:17) at require (internal/module.js:12:17)

You might need to do a full Node/NPM uninstall and reinstall. See this node issue

I suggest you re-install node using n or nvm, then update your npm and finally update your packages

You need to install node and npm seperately, I am not sure if that is your problem.
