<h1><a href="../cli/npm-deprecate.html">npm-deprecate</a></h1> <p>Deprecate a version of a package</p>
<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm deprecate &lt;name&gt;[@&lt;version&gt;] &lt;message&gt;
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>This command will update the npm registry entry for a package, providing
a deprecation warning to all who attempt to install it.</p>
<p>It works on version ranges as well as specific versions, so you can do
something like this:</p>
<pre><code>npm deprecate my-thing@&quot;&lt; 0.2.3&quot; &quot;critical bug fixed in v0.2.3&quot;
</code></pre><p>Note that you must be the package owner to deprecate something.  See the
<code>owner</code> and <code>adduser</code> help topics.</p>
<p>To un-deprecate a package, specify an empty string (<code>&quot;&quot;</code>) for the <code>message</code> argument.</p>
