While installing MATERIAL TAILWIND package, I am noticing a notation that I have never seen, while installing a npm package
npm i -E @material-tailwind/react
What is this -E thing? Thanks in Advance
CodePudding user response：
npm install -E - the flag is short for --save-exact, use this when you need an exact version as opposed to a semver range.

CodePudding user response：
- denotes switches in posix programs, similar to how / works in the windows cmd.exe
They modify the command to do something different
In the case of npm install:
aliases: npm i, npm add
common options: [-P|--save-prod|-D|--save-dev|-O|--save-optional|--save-peer] [-E|--save-exact] [-B|--save-bundle] [--no-save] [--dry-run]
-E, --save-exact: Saved dependencies will be configured with an exact version rather than using npm's default semver range operator.
