Upgrading preact from 1.1.1 to 1.3.0 required uninstalling preact-cli

[oren]

In order to upgrate preact cli I had to do the following:

sudo npm uninstall -g preact-cli
sudo npm install -g preact-cli

(sudo npm update -g preact-cli kept the old version from some reason)

I would like to understand if that's normal, or maybe it's something specific to my laptop.
Here are more details about my setup:

cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS"

node --version
v7.10.0

npm --version
4.2.0

For me, it works perfectly fine. I have installed 1.1.1 and then upgraded it to 1.3.0 just by running npm install -g preact-cli

This may be because you are running it as sudo?

Btw, installing npm with sudo is not recommended. You can check the following guides for moving away from sudo

• https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions
• https://github.com/sindresorhus/guides/blob/master/npm-global-without-sudo.md

Hope this helps !!
