+<h1><a href="../cli/npm-dist-tag.html">npm-dist-tag</a></h1> <p>Modify package distribution tags</p>
+<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
+<pre><code>npm dist-tag add &lt;pkg&gt;@&lt;version&gt; [&lt;tag&gt;]
+npm dist-tag rm &lt;pkg&gt; &lt;tag&gt;
+npm dist-tag ls [&lt;pkg&gt;]
+
+aliases: dist-tags</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<p>Add, remove, and enumerate distribution tags on a package:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>add:
+Tags the specified version of the package with the specified tag, or the
+<code>--tag</code> config if not specified. If you have two-factor authentication on
+auth-and-writes then you’ll need to include a one-time password on the
+command line with <code>--otp &lt;one-time password&gt;</code>.</p>
+</li>
+<li><p>rm:
+Clear a tag that is no longer in use from the package.</p>
+</li>
+<li><p>ls:
+Show all of the dist-tags for a package, defaulting to the package in
+the current prefix.</p>
+<p>This is the default action if none is specified.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>A tag can be used when installing packages as a reference to a version instead
+of using a specific version number:</p>
+<pre><code>npm install &lt;name&gt;@&lt;tag&gt;</code></pre><p>When installing dependencies, a preferred tagged version may be specified:</p>
+<pre><code>npm install --tag &lt;tag&gt;</code></pre><p>This also applies to <code>npm dedupe</code>.</p>
+<p>Publishing a package sets the <code>latest</code> tag to the published version unless the
+<code>--tag</code> option is used. For example, <code>npm publish --tag=beta</code>.</p>
+<p>By default, <code>npm install &lt;pkg&gt;</code> (without any <code>@&lt;version&gt;</code> or <code>@&lt;tag&gt;</code>
+specifier) installs the <code>latest</code> tag.</p>
+<h2 id="purpose">PURPOSE</h2>
+<p>Tags can be used to provide an alias instead of version numbers.</p>
+<p>For example, a project might choose to have multiple streams of development
+and use a different tag for each stream,
+e.g., <code>stable</code>, <code>beta</code>, <code>dev</code>, <code>canary</code>.</p>
+<p>By default, the <code>latest</code> tag is used by npm to identify the current version of
+a package, and <code>npm install &lt;pkg&gt;</code> (without any <code>@&lt;version&gt;</code> or <code>@&lt;tag&gt;</code>
+specifier) installs the <code>latest</code> tag. Typically, projects only use the <code>latest</code>
+tag for stable release versions, and use other tags for unstable versions such
+as prereleases.</p>
+<p>The <code>next</code> tag is used by some projects to identify the upcoming version.</p>
+<p>By default, other than <code>latest</code>, no tag has any special significance to npm
+itself.</p>
+<h2 id="caveats">CAVEATS</h2>
+<p>This command used to be known as <code>npm tag</code>, which only created new tags, and so
+had a different syntax.</p>
+<p>Tags must share a namespace with version numbers, because they are specified in
+the same slot: <code>npm install &lt;pkg&gt;@&lt;version&gt;</code> vs <code>npm install &lt;pkg&gt;@&lt;tag&gt;</code>.</p>
+<p>Tags that can be interpreted as valid semver ranges will be rejected. For
+example, <code>v1.4</code> cannot be used as a tag, because it is interpreted by semver as
+<code>&gt;=1.4.0 &lt;1.5.0</code>. See <a href="https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6082">https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6082</a>.</p>
+<p>The simplest way to avoid semver problems with tags is to use tags that do not
+begin with a number or the letter <code>v</code>.</p>
