   "name" : "app", 
   "version" : "1.0", 
   "dependencies" : {
         "aws-sdk" : "^2.739.0",

Answer 1

Check for new versions

1. npm outdated , this will give you a list of all matching semver versions - then npm update to load these available versions
2. Use https://www.npmjs.com/package/aws-sdk (versions tab) to see which versions are available - then use npm install aws-sdk@xyz to update the package to the desired version

Answer 2

you can add this symbol ^ before the package number than run this command

npm install aws-sdk

so you package.json should be like that

    {
   "name" : "app", 
   "version" : "1.0", 
   "dependencies" : {
         "aws-sdk" : "^2.739.0", 
          ....
}
