Freecodecamp: Are updates to "Install and Require Helmet" challenge needed?
Challenge:
https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/information-security/information-security-with-helmetjs/install-and-require-helmet
https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/blob/master/curriculum/challenges/english/09-information-security/information-security-with-helmetjs/install-and-require-helmet.english.md
Does this challenge need instructions on how to actually install the specified version? On repl.it if you search for a package it will just give you the latest version.
If you run
npm i [email protected]it will add the package with the caret^in front of the version number but the test does not allow for that. Should the test allow for the caret?

If changing the tests to allow ^ does not cause any of the versioning issues mentioned previously, then we should go with that. Otherwise, we could add a note that the camper should use --save-exact: npm install --save-exact [email protected]

Just bringing this back up: Are we changing the tests, or changing the instructions to be explicit about the versioning?

Personally, I'd say both.
Show the npm command for how to install a specific package version and make the test ignore/accept the caret.

@lasjorg I like that. This kind of lesson is so short, I also think it would be useful to add the information about --save-exact.
I am going to open this up for general help
