How can I install a higher version of a plugin?

[unbug]

I've installed the v1.5.x branch, but the plugin nodebb-plugin-composer-default has issue to input tags, so I install the latest of it, but v1.5.x branch wont pass the build and failed to start, it only happy with the version in package.json. I don't want to install the master branch duo to its not stable, and I don't want to use any other 3p plugin, what can I do about this?

You can temporarily edit package.json to use a newer version.

Remember that this is unsupported, and you may run into conflicts when upgrading later on.

@julian I've tried npm install --save [email protected], nodebb wont happy about it either.

Please give the exact error, and confirm that package.json was indeed edited.

@pitaj I can't take risky to do it again, sorry, I just remember the log keeps run ./nodebb upgrade and keep failed.
