npm-removal(1) -- Cleaning the Slate
|
||
|
|
====================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So sad to see you go.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudo npm uninstall npm -g
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or, if that fails, get the npm source code, and do:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sudo make uninstall
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## More Severe Uninstalling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usually, the above instructions are sufficient. That will remove
|
||
|
|
npm, but leave behind anything you've installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If that doesn't work, or if you require more drastic measures,
|
||
|
|
continue reading.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that this is only necessary for globally-installed packages. Local
|
||
|
|
installs are completely contained within a project's `node_modules`
|
||
|
|
folder. Delete that folder, and everything is gone (unless a package's
|
||
|
|
install script is particularly ill-behaved).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This assumes that you installed node and npm in the default place. If
|
||
|
|
you configured node with a different `--prefix`, or installed npm with a
|
||
|
|
different prefix setting, then adjust the paths accordingly, replacing
|
||
|
|
`/usr/local` with your install prefix.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To remove everything npm-related manually:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rm -rf /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm,_modules},bin,share/man}/npm*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you installed things *with* npm, then your best bet is to uninstall
|
||
|
|
them with npm first, and then install them again once you have a
|
||
|
|
proper install. This can help find any symlinks that are lying
|
||
|
|
around:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ls -laF /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm},bin,share/man} | grep npm
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Prior to version 0.3, npm used shim files for executables and node
|
||
|
|
modules. To track those down, you can do the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
find /usr/local/{lib/node,bin} -exec grep -l npm \{\} \; ;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(This is also in the README file.)
