Currently, If I run npm install, it installs the updated version of already installed packages. How can I install the exact version as specified in the package.json file?

That behavior is really driven by the one specifying the versions in the package.json. If the version number looks like 1.0.0, without any other symbols, the exact version (1.0.0) should be installed.

So what you could do is simply modify the package.json and run a npm install then. Be sure to clear out the node_modules directory before you do that.
