How to npm install and force latest version (permanently)?

Question

I am deploying a private npm module for internal use at our company. Since the module is handled internally, we can trust version bumps etc.

How can I install the module

Answer 1

One way is to run this before each install.

npm i -g npm-check-updates
npm-check-updates -u
npm install

On npm < 3.11:

"dependencies": {
 "express": "~3.2.0",
 "mongodb": "~1.2.14",
 "underscore": "~1.4.4",
 "rjs": "~2.10.0",
 "jade": "~0.29.0",
 "async": "~0.2.7"
}
