Answer 1

Your install script will install the latest version.

A package is:

a) a folder containing a program described by a package.json file
b) a gzipped tarball containing (a)
c) a url that resolves to (b)
d) a <name>@<version> that is published on the registry (see npm-registry) with (c)
e) a <name>@<tag> (see npm-dist-tag) that points to (d)
f) a <name> that has a "latest" tag satisfying (e)
g) a <git remote url> that resolves to (a)

Check npm documentation: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install

You are in the following case:

f) a that has a "latest" tag satisfying (e)

If you want to be explicit, you can specify latest tag which will also update all packages to the latest version.

npm install --save @progress/kendo-angular-grid@latest @progress/kendo-angular-dropdowns@latest @progress/kendo-angular-inputs@latest @progress/kendo-angular-dateinputs@latest @progress/kendo-data-query@latest @progress/kendo-angular-intl@latest @progress/kendo-angular-l10n@latest @progress/kendo-drawing@latest @progress/kendo-angular-excel-export@latest @progress/kendo-angular-buttons@latest
