npm-uninstall(1) -- Remove a package ============================= ## SYNOPSIS npm uninstall [<@scope>/]<pkg>[@<version>]... [-S|--save|-D|--save-dev|-O|--save-optional|--no-save] 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`. * `--no-save`: Package will not be removed from your `package.json` file. 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 npm uninstall lodash --no-save ## SEE ALSO * npm-prune(1) * npm-install(1) * npm-folders(5) * npm-config(1) * npm-config(7) * npmrc(5)
