Update each dependency in package.json to the latest version (NPM)
$ npm i -g npm-check-updates
$ ncu -u
$ npm install
try on your machine

The first command "npm i -g npm-check-updates" is used to install a package called "npm-check-updates" globally in your system.

The "npm-check-updates" package is a helpful tool that allows you to check for available updates for your installed packages. When installed globally, you can use it from the command line in any directory.

The second command "ncu -u" is an abbreviation of "npm-check-updates -u". This command is used to actually check for available updates for your installed packages and update your package.json file with the latest version numbers. It basically updates the dependency version numbers in your package.json file to the latest compatible versions.

Finally, the third command "npm install" is used to install the updated packages based on the newly updated package.json file. It ensures that the updated package versions specified in the package.json file are installed.

In summary, this sequence of commands installs the "npm-check-updates" package globally, checks for available updates for your installed packages, updates your package.json file with the latest versions, and then installs the updated packages.
