# Installing Packages
|
|
|
|
When adding a new dependency to any package.json in the monorepo:
|
|
|
|
1. **Look up the latest version** on npm before adding:
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm view <package-name> version
|
|
```
|
|
If unsure which version to use (e.g. major version compatibility), confirm with the user.
|
|
|
|
2. **Edit the package.json directly** — do NOT use `pnpm add` as it can cause issues in the monorepo. Add the dependency with the correct version range (typically `^x.y.z`).
|
|
|
|
3. **Run `pnpm i` from the repo root** after editing to install and update the lockfile:
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm i
|
|
```
|
|
Always run from the repo root, not from the package directory.
