NAME¶

npm-rm - Remove a package

SYNOPSIS¶

npm uninstall <name> [--save|--save-dev|--save-optional]
npm rm (with any of the previous argument usage)

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:

•

--save: Package will be removed from your dependencies.

•

--save-dev: Package will be removed from your devDependencies.

•

--save-optional: Package will be removed from your optionalDependencies.

Examples:

npm uninstall sax --save
npm uninstall node-tap --save-dev
npm uninstall dtrace-provider --save-optional
