I see from here https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui that jquery-ui's latest release is 1.11.4. However, when I use "npm install jquery-ui", it's only 1.10.3. I checked this version in node_modules/jquery-ui/jquery-ui.js.

Is there any way for me to install the latest version?

  • I tried npm install jquery-ui@latest, but I still have 1.10.3 Commented Dec 11, 2015 at 8:38
  • Sorry, I just realized I'm asking a stupid question. Node is using a different repository... not git... I'm not sure how I should deal this question now. Commented Dec 11, 2015 at 8:48

    As per jquery-ui website, 1.12 is the first version officially released to npm: jqueryui.com/upgrade-guide/1.12/#official-package-on-npm If you are willing to skip 1.11.* then you can use this package: npmjs.com/package/jquery-ui Commented Oct 4, 2016 at 4:50

jQuery-ui specifically needs to be build after installation. To avoid this, use npm install jquery-ui-dist

So, that package is maintained by you? Is there any connection to the jQuery team?
After jquery-ui 1.12 its possible to use the official package. See jqueryui.com/upgrade-guide/1.12/#official-package-on-npm
I don't get why the jQuery package has a dist folder, but the jQuery UI package does not and there is instead a separate package for the distributable. Very inconsistent.
Or do a npm install jquery-ui-dist --save to get installed a a dependency.

T J gave the right answer, but it is a bit short / too generic.

The GitHub project is at https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/

So the real command would be npm install github:jquery/jquery-ui (you can even skip github: as npm defaults to it).

But this would bring you the latest, unstable version (around 1.12 at time of writing), and it didn't even work when I tried.

So it is better to fetch a tagged version:

npm install github:jquery/jquery-ui#1.11.4

Generic note: AFAIK, if the project hasn't a package.json file, this kind of install can still fail.

This worked for me, getting and saving 1.12.0. Is there a way of checking if npm's version is outdated from the actual git source?
@BenSewards In general, I go to the NPM registry to see what version is listed (beware: several NPM entries can refer to the same GitHub project! I saw that with Angular UI Bootstrap, for example). Then I go to the GitHub project (referenced from the NPM page) and see the released versions (tagged). Some projects have no released version, alas.
@BenSewards: That's easy. npm install $packagename. As long as you leave off the "-S", it doesn't do any saving, and should output something like: "└── [email protected]"

Here is the current latest version (1.11.4), same package that bower is using, including all themes.

npm install github:components/jqueryui#1.11.4
