title: npm-deprecate
section: 1
description: Deprecate a version of a package
---
### Synopsis
```bash
npm deprecate <pkg>[@<version range>] <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.
