Private NPM: How can the latest version of a module be installed?
<p>Using private <code>npm</code>, common commands seem not to work:</p>

<ul>
<li><p><code>npm install</code> without a specific <code>@version</code> :: <a href="https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4984" rel="noreferrer">issue</a> </p></li>
<li><p><code>npm outdated</code> :: <a href="https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/11869" rel="noreferrer">issue</a></p></li>
<li><p><code>npm update</code> :: <a href="https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/1727" rel="noreferrer">issue</a></p></li>
<li><p><code>npm view &lt;private-package-name&gt; versions</code> :: (haven't found issue yet)</p>

<ul>
<li>also note that <code>npm v</code>, <code>npm show</code>, and <code>npm info</code> are <a href="https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/view" rel="noreferrer">aliases</a> that likewise don't work</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<p>Frequently, I will not know the latest version of a private module my team maintains. I would fall back on one of the commands listed above, but they seem inoperative. How can I install a package without knowing the latest version?</p>
