Cool looking commands, but they did not work. Actually looked like version 1.37.0 got installed but then I checked the version and it was 1.36.3.
Interesting but if is very difficult to uninstall version 1.36.3 even using
sudo npm uninstall -g particle-cli --save
I think I am just going to reformat my Ubuntu 18.04 machine. It is only a few weeks fresh anyway. Maybe this time I will update it immediately after installing the image.
So this is kind of funny. I installed a fresh ubuntu 18.04. updated it. installed node, npm, curl, git and tried to install particle-cli.
Particle-cli version 1.37.0 would not install, not at all not even version 1.36.3. Forgot to try @nrobinson2000 trick above but tried anyway to install po-util
po-util got particle-cli installed. Weird but nice. Po-util fully working so my issues on this situation is over.
