Using npm
Latest version while still respecting the semver in your package.json: npm update <package-name>
.
So, if your package.json says "react": "^15.0.0"
and you run npm update react
your package.json will now say "react": "^15.6.2"
(the currently latest version of react 15).
But since you want to go from react 15 to react 16, that won't do.
Latest version regardless of your semver: npm install --save react@latest
.
If you want a specific version, you run npm install --save react@<version>
e.g. npm install --save [email protected]
.

Using yarn
Latest version while still respecting the semver in your package.json: yarn upgrade react
.
Latest version regardless of your semver: yarn upgrade react@latest
