Is there a Terminal command to update minimatch MAC OSX

Question

Can anyone suggest the proper command to write on Terminal window in OSX to update minimatch script. I tried the following:

$ sudo npm update -g minimatch

It looks like commands got executed with no result messages . Then later checked with the command:

$ sudo minimatch --version

it else end in a error:

-bash: minimatch: command not found

I don't know exactly , but i feel something is wrong. Could anyone tell me if anything wrong made in above 2 syntax.

I tried a lot searching for articles , but not a one specific to my problem . Thanks ahead for your advice to find a fix for my problem

Thanks!

minimatch doesn't install a CLI tool, it's a Node module that you can use from your own code. — robertklep
You shouldn't sudo all the things either. docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions — Seth
Seeing every post here on SO says to use sudo with the npm update like commands on osx. — ficuscr

$ npm install npm -g
