Since patch releases are non-breaking we will publish patch releases immediately and alpha/beta/candidate versions will be published as minor or major version upgrades (we endeavour since 1.4.0 to follow semantic versioning). These builds will not be published as a official release, and will typically have beta in the version (use lessc -v to get current version). Periodically, as new functionality is being developed, lessc builds will be published to npm, tagged as beta.

This will install the latest official version of lessc in your project folder, also adding it to the devDependencies in your project's package.json. Installing for Node DevelopmentĪlternatively, if you don't want to use the compiler globally, you may be after npm i less -save-dev For a specific version (or tag) you can add after our package name, e.g. The -g option installs the lessc command available globally.
