npm: Download a specific version of a package and add it to the list of dependencies in `package.json`.
$ npm install ${module_name}@${version}
try on your machine

This command is used to install a specific module or package, along with a certain version, using the Node Package Manager (npm).

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • npm install: This is the base command for installing packages in Node.js using npm.
  • ${module_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the module you want to install. You should replace it with the actual name of the module.
  • @: This symbol is used to separate the module name from the version.
  • ${version}: This is a placeholder for the specific version of the module you want to install. You should replace it with the actual version you wish to use. It can be in different formats, such as exact version numbers like "1.2.3", or version ranges like ">=1.0.0".

By running this command with the appropriate module name and version, npm will search for the requested module in the npm registry and install it, along with any dependencies it may have.
