title: Use the Caret-Character to Use the Latest Minor Version of a Dependency
|

## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
Similar to how the tilde (~) we learned about in the last challenge allow npm to install the latest PATCH for a dependency, the caret (^) allows npm to install future updates as well. The difference is that the caret will allow both MINOR updates and PATCHes.
|
|
At the moment, your current version of moment should be ~2.10.2 which allows npm to install to the latest 2.10.x-version. If we instead were to use the caret (^) as our version prefix, npm would instead be allowed to update to any 2.x.x-version.
|
|
Example
|
|
<code>"some-package-name": "^1.3.8" allows updates to any 1.x.x version.</code>
|
|
Instructions
|
|
Use the caret-character (^) to prefix the version of moment in your dependencies and allow npm to update it to any new MINOR release.
|
|
Note that the version numbers themselves not should be changed.
