The nvm install latest -npm command installs the latest version of Node.js along with the latest version of npm. If you want to install a specific version of npm, you can use the npm option followed by the version number.

Install nvm if you haven't already done so. You can find installation instructions in the official nvm documentation: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#installing-and-updating

Open a new terminal window to ensure that nvm is properly sourced.

The correct command to install the latest version of npm using nvm would be:

nvm install-latest-npm

This command will install the latest available version of npm that is compatible with the currently active version of Node.js managed by nvm.

If you want to install a specific version of npm, you can use the following command:
nvm install-npm <version>


Replace <version> with the desired version of npm that you want to install. For example, to install npm version 7.19.1, you would run:
nvm install-npm 7.19.1


After installing a new version of npm, you can switch to it using the following command:
nvm use <version>


Replace <version> with the version of npm that you want to use. For example, to use npm version 7.19.1, you would run:
nvm use 7.19.1


Note that you must have the corresponding version of Node.js installed in order to use a specific version of npm with nvm.
