--- title: npm-deprecate section: 1 description: Deprecate a version of a package --- ### Synopsis ```bash npm deprecate <package-spec> <message> ``` Note: This command is unaware of workspaces. ### 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" ``` SemVer ranges passed to this command are interpreted such that they *do* include prerelease versions. For example: ```bash npm deprecate my-thing@1.x "1.x is no longer supported" ``` In this case, a version `my-thing@1.0.0-beta.0` will also be deprecated. 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. ### Configuration #### `registry` * Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/" * Type: URL The base URL of the npm registry. #### `otp` * Default: null * Type: null or String This is a one-time password from a two-factor authenticator. It's needed when publishing or changing package permissions with `npm access`. If not set, and a registry response fails with a challenge for a one-time password, npm will prompt on the command line for one. ### See Also * [package spec](/using-npm/package-spec) * [npm publish](/commands/npm-publish) * [npm registry](/using-npm/registry) * [npm owner](/commands/npm-owner) * [npm adduser](/commands/npm-adduser)
