How to install a specific version of a package using npm



Image not found!!

To install a specific version of a package using npm (Node Package Manager), you can use the following command:

bash
npm install <package-name>@<version>

Replace <package-name> with the name of the package you want to install and <version> with the specific version you want to install. Here's an example:

bash
npm install lodash@4.17.21

This command installs version 4.17.21 of the lodash package. If you don't specify a version, npm installs the latest version by default.

If you want to specify a version range rather than an exact version, you can use semantic versioning syntax. For example:

  • ^1.2.3: Install the latest minor or patch release in the 1.x.x range.
  • ~1.2.3: Install the latest patch release in the 1.2.x range.
  • 1.2.x: Install the latest patch release in the 1.2.x range.

Here's an example using a version range:

bash
npm install lodash@^4.17.0

This installs the latest version in the 4.x.x range.

Remember to check the documentation or release notes of the package to understand the versioning scheme used and choose the appropriate version for your needs.
