# Template Dependency Syntax

The syntax you use to specify dependencies in the `template-info.json` file for `templateVersion` is flexible. The value can take on any of the following.

- Choose any version.
- A specific version.
- Versions greater than or less than the one indicated.

Here is the syntax:

1.  If no version is specified, any version found is used. If a version is specified, but no operator (for example, 3.0), only that version is used.
2.  If the operator is “=” (=3.0), only that version is used.
3.  If the operator is “\>” (\>3.0), any app with a version greater than the specified version is used
4.  If the operator is “\<” (\<3.0), any app with a version less than the specified version is used.
5.  If the operator is “\>=” (\>=3.0), any app with a version greater than or equal to the specified version is used.
6.  If the operator is “\<=” (\<=3.0), any app with a version less than or equal to the specified version is used.
