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

This command adds a specific version of a module to your project's dependencies using the package manager called pnpm.

Here's a breakdown of the command's structure:

  • pnpm: It refers to the pnpm package manager, which is similar to npm or yarn. It's used to manage packages and dependencies in a Node.js project.

  • add: It is the command used to add new packages or modules to your project's dependencies.

  • ${module_name}: It represents the name of the module or package you want to add. You should replace ${module_name} with the actual name of the module you want to add.

  • @${version}: It represents the specific version of the module you want to install. You should replace ${version} with the actual version number or range you desire. Using @${version} is optional. If you omit it, pnpm will install the latest version of the module.

To use this command, open your terminal or command prompt, navigate to your project's directory, and type the command with the appropriate module name and version. After running the command, pnpm will download and install the specified module, adding it to your project's dependencies.
