npm-uninstall (1)

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

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
