There are a couple of ways to update NodeJS to the latest version. One of the easiest way is:

sudo npm cache clean -f // this clears the npm package cache
sudo npm install -g n // install n module to manage NodeJS versions
sudo n latest or sudo n stable // install the latest node version or the stable based your requirement
hash -r //reset the bash if the old node version is still there

Note: I tested it on Ubuntu
