# npm-deprecate(1)
## 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.
