New major version of npm available! 8.1.2 -> 9.8.1

Hello! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Upgrading to a new major version of npm, such as from 8.x.x to 9.x.x, can bring new features, bug fixes, and improvements. It is generally recommended to keep npm up to date to ensure compatibility with the latest packages and dependencies.

Before upgrading, it is advisable to review the release notes and documentation for the new version of npm to understand any breaking changes or specific instructions for upgrading. Additionally, it's a good practice to backup your project and test the upgrade in a development environment before applying it to a production environment.

To upgrade npm to version 9.8.1, you can use the following command:

npm install -g npm@9.8.1

This command will install the specified version globally on your system. After the upgrade, you can verify the installation by running `npm --version`.

Remember to also update your project's `package.json` file if necessary, as some packages may have compatibility constraints on specific npm versions.

Let me know if you have any further questions!
