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