| <p>So sad to see you go.</p> |
| <pre><code class="language-bash">sudo npm uninstall npm -g |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>Or, if that fails, get the npm source code, and do:</p> |
| <pre><code class="language-bash">sudo make uninstall |
| </code></pre> |
| <h3 id="more-severe-uninstalling">More Severe Uninstalling</h3> |
| <p>Usually, the above instructions are sufficient. That will remove |
| npm, but leave behind anything you've installed.</p> |
| <p>If that doesn't work, or if you require more drastic measures, |
| continue reading.</p> |
| <p>Note that this is only necessary for globally-installed packages. Local |
| installs are completely contained within a project's <code>node_modules</code> |
| folder. Delete that folder, and everything is gone unless a package's |
| install script is particularly ill-behaved.</p> |
| <p>This assumes that you installed node and npm in the default place. If |
| you configured node with a different <code>--prefix</code>, or installed npm with a |
| different prefix setting, then adjust the paths accordingly, replacing |
| <code>/usr/local</code> with your install prefix.</p> |
| <p>To remove everything npm-related manually:</p> |
| <pre><code class="language-bash">rm -rf /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm,_modules},bin,share/man}/npm* |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>If you installed things <em>with</em> 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:</p> |
| <pre><code class="language-bash">ls -laF /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm},bin,share/man} | grep npm |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>Prior to version 0.3, npm used shim files for executables and node |
| modules. To track those down, you can do the following:</p> |
| <pre><code class="language-bash">find /usr/local/{lib/node,bin} -exec grep -l npm \{\} \; ; |
| </code></pre> |
