Can I install an exact version?

Yes, when that release is still distributed. Earlier pre-audit releases remain visible in history but are not installable.

Version numbers

Generation 1 uses the 1.major.patch format. The middle number marks a meaningful capability or contract change; the last number is used for compatible maintenance and refinement within that line.

What can be installed

install <module> -v <version> accepts only stable releases that the repository currently distributes. Releases predating the current audited baseline remain in history for reference and cannot be installed. New stable releases may remain available as exact-version targets.

Examples

install help -v 1.1.6
