npm-uninstall(1) -- Remove a package
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
npm uninstall [<@scope>/]<pkg>[@<version>]... [-S|--save|-D|--save-dev|-O|--save-optional]
|
|
|
|
aliases: remove, rm, r, un, unlink
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This uninstalls a package, completely removing everything npm installed
|
|
on its behalf.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
npm uninstall sax
|
|
|
|
In global mode (ie, with `-g` or `--global` appended to the command),
|
|
it uninstalls the current package context as a global package.
|
|
|
|
`npm uninstall` takes 3 exclusive, optional flags which save or update
|
|
the package version in your main package.json:
|
|
|
|
* `-S, --save`: Package will be removed from your `dependencies`.
|
|
|
|
* `-D, --save-dev`: Package will be removed from your `devDependencies`.
|
|
|
|
* `-O, --save-optional`: Package will be removed from your `optionalDependencies`.
|
|
|
|
Further, if you have an `npm-shrinkwrap.json` then it will be updated as
|
|
well.
|
|
|
|
Scope is optional and follows the usual rules for `npm-scope(7)`.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
npm uninstall sax --save
|
|
npm uninstall @myorg/privatepackage --save
|
|
npm uninstall node-tap --save-dev
|
|
npm uninstall dtrace-provider --save-optional
