+## Distribution tags
+
+Electron supports three streams of development versions, each of which is identified by using an [npm dist tag]:
+
+- **`prev`**: denotes the version of Electron that is _one minor_ behind the `latest
+- **`latest`**: denotes the _latest stable_ version
+- **`next`**: denotes the _upcoming (maybe unstable)_ version
+
+A `dist-tag` can be used when installing Electron as a reference to a version instead of using a specific version number:
+
+```
+npm install electron@<dist-tag>
+```
+**Note:** if unspecified, `latest` will be used. 
 
-- `npm install electron@latest` will install the latest _stable_ version.
-- `npm install electron@next` will install the very latest _unstable_ version.
