$ netlify deploy
Opening https://app.netlify.com/authorize?

i.e. it worked only after I manually installed update-notifier globally.

$ node --version
v0.12.7
$ npm --version
2.11.3

Should be addressed in the upcoming 2.0.0 release.

I just ran npm i -g netlify-cli to update from version 3.34.0 to 3.35.0. All netlify commands now return:

Hi @axecopfire, do you mind updating npm to the latest version, then trying again?
You can do it by running npm install -g npm@latest, then running npm install -g netlify-cli@latest.

If that doesn't work, can you try npm uninstall -g netlify-cli, then npm install -g netlify-cli?

Ahh thank you. I've been troubleshooting a different issue and didn't realize I was still on an older version and didn't actually update to 3.35.0
