NPM: Cannot find module 'node -gyp / bin / node -gyp'

Question

I am using NPM under my ubuntu 14.04 and node 8.0.0 .

I upgraded my npm from 5.2.0 to 5.6.0

but after that all npm commands do not work, indicating a problem:

Scam node / bin / scam node

The full log is as follows:

npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND
npm ERR! Cannot find module 'node-gyp/bin/node-gyp'

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/khalidvm/.npm/_logs/2018-01-12T15_02_35_338Z-debug.log

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

I am afraid that I cannot use npm, even deleting it throws the same error.
