NAME
npm-uninstall - 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 help 7 npm-scope.
Examples:
-
npm uninstall sax --save
npm uninstall @myorg/privatepackage --save
npm uninstall node-tap --save-dev
npm uninstall dtrace-provider --save-optional
