Issues with the CLI update on Mac

Troubleshooting

The Particle CLI worked fine until I recently updated the Particle CLI on my Mac using “sudo npm update -g particle-cli”. I now receive the following with any CLI command. There must be something simple I’m missing. Any help is appreciated.

Home-iMac:~ Joe$ particle login

Try: sudo npm uninstall -g particle-cli and test particle on the command line to see if it still works.

If that is the case, maybe the installation has some issue and you should do a which particle and find the path where the binary is located, delete it and do a sudo npm install -g particle-cli again.
