Can't overwrite an existing version of a package
You can only publish a specific version of a package once. This is an npm restriction to ensure that the contents of a published package version are always the same, and to prevent tampering with dependencies.
As a result, you cannot:
- Overwrite a package version by publishing it again to the repository
- Remove a package or its version from the repository, and then publish a package with the same name and version number
Tags can help you streamline installation of packages at a specific stage of development. For information about working with tags when you publish and install package, see Managing Node.js packages.
