  • You can do yarn add my-package to install the latest version of my-package
  • You can do yarn add [email protected] to install v1.2.3

Can you specify a range, like in package.json?

Yes.

I don't know why this isn't documented explicitly, but this works:

yarn add "express@^4.15.4" # wrote "express": "^4.15.4" to package.json # actually installed v4.17.1, which is latest satisfactory version

It doesn't for me. Yarn installs the exact given version and adds it to package.json without the ^. E.g., yarn add express@^4.15.4 ends up with "express": "4.15.4";.
Works for me if I put quotes around the dependency, as in yarn add "express@^4.15.4"
It's documented here: classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/dependency-versions/…
