Private NPM: How can the latest version of a module be installed?

Question

Using private npm, common commands seem not to work:

• npm install without a specific @version :: issue

• npm outdated :: issue

• npm update :: issue

• npm view <private-package-name> versions :: (haven't found issue yet)

  • also note that npm v, npm show, and npm info are aliases that likewise don't work

Frequently, I will not know the latest version of a private module my team maintains. I would fall back on one of the commands listed above, but they seem inoperative. How can I install a package without knowing the latest version?

Answer 1

If I understand your question, installing latest package would be:

npm install <package_name>@latest --save
