SYNOPSIS

npm tag <name>@<version> [<tag>]

DESCRIPTION

Tags the specified version of the package with the specified tag, or the --tag config if not specified.

A tag can be used when installing packages as a reference to a version instead of using a specific version number:

  • npm install <name>@<tag>
    

When installing dependencies, a preferred tagged version may be specified:

  • npm install --tag <tag>
    

This also applies to npm dedupe.

Publishing a package always sets the "latest" tag to the published version.
