<h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h2>

<pre><code>npm tag &lt;name&gt;@&lt;version&gt; [&lt;tag&gt;]</code></pre>

<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>

<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 &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 always sets the &quot;latest&quot; tag to the published version.</p>
