The syntax for [`npm install`][1] includes both of the following overloads:

```bash
npm install [<@scope>/]<name>@<tag>
npm install [<@scope>/]<name>@<version>
```

For tag, you can specify either `@latest` and `@beta` like this:

```bash
npm install @11ty/eleventy@latest  # latest stable release
npm install @11ty/eleventy@beta    # latest beta release
```

Interestingly, if you don't specify a tag, the default, set by your [npm config][2], is `@latest`


You can also find out which versions are available by running [`npm view`][4]

```bash
npm view @11ty/eleventy
```

I need to install a _beta_ version `3.0.0` of [react-docgen][1].

Is it possible to install a *beta* version via npm?
