## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
One of the biggest reasons to use a package manager, is their powerful dependency management. Instead of manually having to make sure that you get all dependencies whenever you set up a project on a new computer, npm automatically installs everything for you. But how can npm know exactly what your project needs? Meet the <code>dependencies</code> section of your package.json file.
|
|
In this section, packages your project requires are stored using the following format:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
"dependencies": {<br>
|
|
"package-name": "version",</br>
|
|
"express": "4.14.0"</br>
|
|
}<br>
|
|
</blockquote>

## Instructions

<section id='instructions'>
|
|
Add version "2.14.0" of the "moment" package to the <code>dependencies</code> field of your package.json file.
|

<strong>Note:</strong> Moment is a handy library for working with time and dates.
