# NPM vs Yarn
## Semantic Versioning
## Giving npm permission to install newer version
```
"package-name": "[major].[minor].[patch]"
lodash: "4.17.4" - install exact version
lodash: "^4.17.4" - install latest minor (caret ^)
lodash: "~4.17.4" - install latest patch version (tilde ~)
lodash: "*" - install absolute latest version
```
## Accessing the list of commands
```bash
> npm help # npm -h
> yarn help # yarn -h
```
## Starting a new project
```bash
> npm init
> npm init -y # default setup
> yarn init
> yarn init -y # default setup
```
## Installing all the dependencies
```bash
> npm i # or npm install
> yarn # or yarn install
```
## Adding a dependency
```bash
> npm i [package] # yarn add lodash
> npm i [package]@[version] # yarn add [email protected]
> npm i [package]@[tag]
> yarn add [package] # yarn add lodash
> yarn add [package]@[version] # yarn add [email protected]
> yarn add [package]@[tag]
```
## Adding a dependency globally
```bash
> npm i -g [package]
> yarn add -g [package]
```
## Adding a dependency to different categories of dependencies
- **dependencies**: Packages required in production. Example: lodash
- **devDependencies**: Packages only needed for local development and testing. Example: grunt
```bash
> npm i -D [package] # or npm i --dev [package]
> npm add [package] --peer
> yarn add [package] --dev # or yarn add -D [package]
> yarn add [package] --peer
```
## Upgrading a dependency
```bash
> npm update [package]
> npm update [package]@[version]
> npm update [package]@[tag]
> yarn up [package]
> yarn up [package]@[version]
> yarn up [package]@[tag]
```
## Removing a dependency
```bash
> npm uninstall [package]
> yarn remove [package]
```
## Upgrading npm and yarn
```bash
> npm install -g npm@latest
> yarn set version latest
> yarn set version from sources
```
