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 yourdependencies. -
-D, --save-dev: Package will be removed from yourdevDependencies. -
-O, --save-optional: Package will be removed from youroptionalDependencies. -
--no-save: Package will not be removed from yourpackage.jsonfile.
Further, if you have an npm-shrinkwrap.json then it will be updated as
well.
Scope is optional and follows the usual rules for scope.
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
