Package Installation
We need to install a package named npm-check-updates globally. It upgrades your package.json dependencies to the latest versions, ignoring specified versions.
Install the package globally:
npm install -g npm-check-updatesBefore upgrading all packages, have a look at the package notes:
- Maintains existing semantic versioning policies, i.e.
"express": "^4.0.0"to"express": "^5.0.0". - Only modifies package.json file. Run
npm installto update your installed packages and package-lock.json.
Check Available Versions

$ ncu
