//This information is for people who are working on the development of TiddlyWiki5 itself, and isn't relevant for end users//

! Setting up npm

[[Installing TiddlyWiki5]] with NPM downloads a snapshot release of TiddlyWIki5. To use a development copy of the TiddlyWiki5 repository instead of the copy installed by [[NPM]], use this command within the root of the TiddlyWiki5 repo:

```
npm link
```

! Bumping version numbers

As releases are made during development it is necessary to adjust the version number of the TiddlyWiki5 core. This is done with the [[npm version|https://npmjs.org/doc/version.html]] command. For example:

```
npm version 5.0.0-alpha.10
```

As described in #10 in [[this article by npm's author|http://blog.izs.me/post/1675072029/10-cool-things-you-probably-didnt-realize-npm-could-do]], when run from within a git repo this command will also commit the change and tag it
