Nativescript Sidekick won't start after CLI update - nativescript

Question

I found some dupplicates but those were not working for me:
NativeScript Sidekick won't run since CLI 3.2.1 update doesn't work
https://discourse.nativescript.org/t/tns-update-3-2-1-not-working/2766/4
I am currently trying to start Nativescript Sidekick but it always prompts me to update the nativescript CLI using the command
npm i -g nativescript#latest
This does not work.
I also tried to uninstall, clear cache and install again.
This also did not work.
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I had two versions of npm installed without me knowing. Had to uninstall one of them and reset my PATH variable to the correct location.
This fixed the issue!
