## Testing JavaScript code from a specific major WordPress version

There is a way to quickly install a version of the individual WordPress package used with a given WordPress major version using [npm distribution tags](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-dist-tag) (example for WordPress `5.8.x`):

```bash
npm install @wordpress/block-editor@wp-5.8
```

It’s also possible to update all existing WordPress packages in the project with a single command:

```bash
npx @wordpress/scripts packages-update --dist-tag=wp-5.8
```

All major WordPress versions starting from `5.7.x` are supported (e.g., `wp-5.7` or `wp-6.0`). Each individual dist-tag always points to the latest bug fix release for that major version line.
