Npm doesn't work

Question

Npm doesn't work

I have installed node version v0.10.35, but when I try to work with npm it results in an error:

npm is installed when I installed node, checking the node version does not throw an error, but checking the npm version with npm --version throws an error

Error: npm doesn't work with node v0.10.35
Required: node@0.4 || 0.5 || 0.6
