NPM fails to update under NVM due to symlink

Go to nodejs install directory, go into node_modules and move folder npm to different location. Go in the bin folder inside the new npm location and set it as your working directory. Run node npm-cli.js i -g npm@latest and it will update the install in the correct location. After install, delete the temporary npm folder and you're finished.
