Install library with composer without updating the version of the current libraries on composer.json

So today I tried to install bootstrap with the composer via composer.json. I added twbs/bootstrap in my require list at the composer.json file in my project map and runned the command

$ composer update

It was succesfully downloaded and with a few adjustments to my code and command line I can use it now in my base:html.twig file.

Unfortunately, the composer updated also my version of symfony from 2.7 to 2.8. Is there any option that I update/download bootstrap without updating my version number of Symfony, doctrine etc with the composer? My code of composer.json:

{
"name": "symfony/framework-standard-edition",
"license": "MIT",
"type": "project",
"description": "The \"Symfony Standard Edition\" distribution",
"autoload": {
    "psr-4": { "": "src/", "SymfonyStandard\\": "app/" }

},

},
"scripts": {

    ],

        "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::removeSymfonyStandardFiles",

    ],

        "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::removeSymfonyStandardFiles",
        "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::prepareDeploymentTarget"
    ]
},
"config": {
    "bin-dir": "bin"
},
"extra": {
    "symfony-app-dir": "app",
    "symfony-web-dir": "web",

You can require the library:

$composer require twbs/bootstrap

This will put the library in a compatible version with the libraries you have.

If you also don't want to update Symfony in the future, you can add an extra version to the string:

"require": {
  "symfony/symfony": "~2.7.0@beta",
},

This will make composer understand you don't want to upgrade to 2.8 or highter versions.

If you only want to install or update one dependency, you can whitelist them:

php composer.phar update twbs/bootstrap

More info in the official doc

Another way is with the require command:

The require command adds new packages to the composer.json file from the current directory. If no file exists one will be created on the fly.

php composer.phar require vendor/package:2.*

Hope this help
