@ -47,6 +47,27 @@ The `latest` and `next` [npm dist tags] are also used:
- `npm install electron@latest` will install the latest _stable_ version.
- `npm install electron@next` will install the very latest _unstable_ version.
## Stable Releases
In general, a version is considered stable after its most recent
[prerelease](#prereleases) has been out for two weeks and any significant bugs
reported against it have been fixed. Note that versions are not promoted on a
set schedule, and timing can fluctuate per release.
We recommend using the following command to ensure you're using a stable
version of Electron:
```sh
npm install electron --save-exact --save-dev
```
If you have an existing Electron app and want to update it to use the latest
stable version of `electron`, use the `@latest` identifier:
```sh
npm install electron@latest --save-exact --save-dev
```
