Get Error Invalid CLI version provided. - Please update to at least v2.0.0 when running firebase deploy

I am running the command firebase deploy and I see the following error:

Invalid CLI version provided. - Please update to at least v2.0.0 by running npm update -g firebase-tools

Running the command firebase -v I see I have the following version info:

Firebase Command Line Tools Version 1.2.0 https://www.firebase.com

Now, running the command npm update -g firebase-tools does nada from what I can tell.

I have tried to remove and reinstall firebase-tools via the following commands:

npm remove -g firebase-tools
npm install -g firebase-tools

When I run firebase -v I continue to see version 1.2.0 and my firebase deploy continues to not work. How do I upgrade firebase-tools to version 2?

For background info the Node version on the server is v4.3.1 and the OS is Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

npm update -g firebase-tools? See firebase.com/docs/hosting/command-line-tool.html. If that doesn't work, it seems like you may have installed node/npm as root. In that case, try sudo npm update -g firebase-tools. - Frank van Puffelen
You can also use which firebase to see where the firebase tool is installed and that might help you track down where the problem updating lies. - jonnydee
I have the same issue, updating or removing/adding package didn't do anything. I had previously installed firebase-cli removing it seems to fix it - Hugo Gresse

I had the same issue.

I've previously installed firebase-cli globally (CLI, not tools), so to fix it: 

npm remove -g firebase-cli
npm install -g firebase-tools
