[BUG] npm install -g npm inside create-react-app caused npm to uninstall off of root directory of machine (mac)?

[MorkWood2]

I got an console update recommendation from npm in my create-react-app file, when I executed the command it deleted npm package manager off of my machine (mac). I checked the room directory on my machine and it says npm doesn't exist. Is this a bug? Any recommendations for the best action I could take to install npm on my machine that would be compatible with create-react-app and node-modules directories and restore my app?

Thanks.

below is a picture of the console commands
