Since npm version 5 (part of Node.js version 8), you can simply run

npm update vuetify

to update the package in node_modules and version in package.json/package.json.lock to the latest wanted version. Wanted version is the latest safe version that can be selected according to the constraints of semantic versioning and the ^ or ~ prefix in package.json.

To see what is the available wanted version, run

npm outdated

If you want to update both Vuetify and other packages to the latest major version (you rarely want this as Vuetify major versions are not necessarily backwards-compatible), run

npx npm-check-updates -u
npm install
