<h1><a href="../cli/npm-tag.html">npm-tag</a></h1> <p>Tag a published version</p>
<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>[DEPRECATED] npm tag <name>@<version> [<tag>]
See `dist-tag`
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>THIS COMMAND IS DEPRECATED. See <a href="../cli/npm-dist-tag.html">npm-dist-tag(1)</a> for details.</p>
<p>Tags the specified version of the package with the specified tag, or the
<code>--tag</code> config if not specified.</p>
<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 <name>@<tag>
</code></pre><p>When installing dependencies, a preferred tagged version may be specified:</p>
<pre><code>npm install --tag <tag>
</code></pre><p>This also applies to <code>npm dedupe</code>.</p>
<p>Publishing a package always sets the "latest" tag to the published version.</p>
<h2 id="purpose">PURPOSE</h2>
<p>Tags can be used to provide an alias instead of version numbers. For
example, <code>npm</code> currently uses the tag "next" to identify the upcoming
version, and the tag "latest" to identify the current version.</p>
<p>A project might choose to have multiple streams of development, e.g.,
"stable", "canary".</p>
<h2 id="caveats">CAVEATS</h2>
<p>Tags must share a namespace with version numbers, because they are
specified in the same slot: <code>npm install <pkg>@<version></code> vs <code>npm
install <pkg>@<tag></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>>=1.4.0 <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>
