NPM-RM(1)

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
