## Deprecate a version of a package
|
|
|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm deprecate <pkg>[@<version>] <message>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
This command will update the npm registry entry for a package, providing
|
|
a deprecation warning to all who attempt to install it.
|
|
|
|
It works on [version ranges](https://semver.npmjs.com/) as well as specific
|
|
versions, so you can do something like this:
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm deprecate my-thing@"< 0.2.3" "critical bug fixed in v0.2.3"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that you must be the package owner to deprecate something. See the
|
|
`owner` and `adduser` help topics.
|
|
|
|
To un-deprecate a package, specify an empty string (`""`) for the `message`
|
|
argument. Note that you must use double quotes with no space between them to
|
|
format an empty string.
|
