Hi there I am new to bower and would like to install the beta version of bourbon but get the latest stable version instead. Command executed:
bower install thoughtbot/bourbon
and got:
bourbon#4.2.7 bower_components/bourbon
Looking at the bower.json in https://github.com/thoughtbot/bourbon I can see the version being "5.0.0-beta.7" which I would like to install. I am doing something wrong?
Executing:
bower install thoughtbot/bourbon#5.0.0-beta.7
displays:
Additional error details:

Bower will always default to installing the current stable version, which at the time of this writing is 4.2.7. To install a pre-release, like a beta, you’ll need to specify the version:
bower install bourbon#v5.0.0.beta.7
