| <h1><a href="../cli/npm-uninstall.html">npm-uninstall</a></h1> <p>Remove a package</p> |
| <h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2> |
| <pre><code>npm uninstall [@<scope>/]<package> [--save|--save-dev|--save-optional] |
| npm rm (with any of the previous argument usage) |
| </code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2> |
| <p>This uninstalls a package, completely removing everything npm installed |
| on its behalf.</p> |
| <p>Example:</p> |
| <pre><code>npm uninstall sax |
| </code></pre><p>In global mode (ie, with <code>-g</code> or <code>--global</code> appended to the command), |
| it uninstalls the current package context as a global package.</p> |
| <p><code>npm uninstall</code> takes 3 exclusive, optional flags which save or update |
| the package version in your main package.json:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><p><code>--save</code>: Package will be removed from your <code>dependencies</code>.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li><p><code>--save-dev</code>: Package will be removed from your <code>devDependencies</code>.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li><p><code>--save-optional</code>: Package will be removed from your <code>optionalDependencies</code>.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Scope is optional and follows the usual rules for <code><a href="../misc/npm-scope.html">npm-scope(7)</a></code>.</p> |
| <p>Examples:</p> |
| <pre><code>npm uninstall sax --save |
| npm uninstall @myorg/privatepackage --save |
| npm uninstall node-tap --save-dev |
| npm uninstall dtrace-provider --save-optional |
