I was running ‘npm install -g npm’ as instructed by the terminal, as I got this error.

Hi, you cannot install global packages on Glitch. Also, why do you want to install npm?

Actually, you can. Just install it though the package.json file in the editor, it should say “add package”, search for the package you want to add, then click on it. Wait for it to install, and then you have access to the command. However, it’s not wise to install npm in the editor as it can mess up your project. Just change your node version to 14.x in the package.json and it should upgrade. Learn how to do that here
