- <h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
- <pre><code>npm update [-g] [<pkg>...]
-
- aliases: up, upgrade</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
- <p>This command will update all the packages listed to the latest version
- (specified by the <code>tag</code> config), respecting semver.</p>
- <p>It will also install missing packages. As with all commands that install
- packages, the <code>--dev</code> flag will cause <code>devDependencies</code> to be processed
- as well.</p>
- <p>If the <code>-g</code> flag is specified, this command will update globally installed
- packages.</p>
- <p>If no package name is specified, all packages in the specified location (global
- or local) will be updated.</p>
- <p>As of <a href="mailto:%60npm@2.6.1">`npm@2.6.1</a><code>, the</code>npm update<code>will only inspect top-level packages.
- Prior versions of</code>npm<code>would also recursively inspect all dependencies.
- To get the old behavior, use</code>npm --depth 9999 update`.</p>
- <p>As of <a href="mailto:%60npm@5.0.0">`npm@5.0.0</a><code>, the</code>npm update<code>will change</code>package.json<code>to save the
- new version as the minimum required dependency. To get the old behavior,
- use</code>npm update --no-save`.</p>
- <h2 id="examples">EXAMPLES</h2>
- <p>IMPORTANT VERSION NOTE: these examples assume <a href="mailto:%60npm@2.6.1">`npm@2.6.1</a><code>or later. For
- older versions of</code>npm<code>, you must specify</code>--depth 0` to get the behavior
- described below.</p>
- <p>For the examples below, assume that the current package is <code>app</code> and it depends
- on dependencies, <code>dep1</code> (<code>dep2</code>, .. etc.). The published versions of <code>dep1</code> are:</p>
- <pre><code>{
- "dist-tags": { "latest": "1.2.2" },
- "versions": [
- "1.2.2",
- "1.2.1",
- "1.2.0",
- "1.1.2",
- "1.1.1",
- "1.0.0",
- "0.4.1",
- "0.4.0",
- "0.2.0"
- ]
- }</code></pre><h3 id="caret-dependencies">Caret Dependencies</h3>
- <p>If <code>app</code>'s <code>package.json</code> contains:</p>
- <pre><code>"dependencies": {
- "dep1": "^1.1.1"
- }</code></pre><p>Then <code>npm update</code> will install <a href="mailto:%60dep1@1.2.2">`dep1@1.2.2</a><code>, because</code>1.2.2<code>is</code>latest<code>and</code>1.2.2<code>satisfies</code>^1.1.1`.</p>
- <h3 id="tilde-dependencies">Tilde Dependencies</h3>
- <p>However, if <code>app</code>'s <code>package.json</code> contains:</p>
- <pre><code>"dependencies": {
- "dep1": "~1.1.1"
- }</code></pre><p>In this case, running <code>npm update</code> will install <a href="mailto:%60dep1@1.1.2">`dep1@1.1.2</a><code>. Even though the</code>latest<code>tag points to</code>1.2.2<code>, this version does not satisfy</code><del>1.1.1<code>, which is equivalent
- to</code>>=1.1.1 <1.2.0<code>. So the highest-sorting version that satisfies</code></del>1.1.1<code>is used,
- which is</code>1.1.2`.</p>
- <h3 id="caret-dependencies-below-1-0-0">Caret Dependencies below 1.0.0</h3>
- <p>Suppose <code>app</code> has a caret dependency on a version below <code>1.0.0</code>, for example:</p>
- <pre><code>"dependencies": {
- "dep1": "^0.2.0"
- }</code></pre><p><code>npm update</code> will install <a href="mailto:%60dep1@0.2.0">`dep1@0.2.0</a><code>, because there are no other
- versions which satisfy</code>^0.2.0`.</p>
- <p>If the dependence were on <code>^0.4.0</code>:</p>
- <pre><code>"dependencies": {
- "dep1": "^0.4.0"
- }</code></pre><p>Then <code>npm update</code> will install <a href="mailto:%60dep1@0.4.1">`dep1@0.4.1</a><code>, because that is the highest-sorting
- version that satisfies</code>^0.4.0<code>(</code>>= 0.4.0 <0.5.0`)</p>
- <h3 id="updating-globally-installed-packages">Updating Globally-Installed Packages</h3>
- <p><code>npm update -g</code> will apply the <code>update</code> action to each globally installed
- package that is <code>outdated</code> -- that is, has a version that is different from
- <code>latest</code>.</p>
- <p>NOTE: If a package has been upgraded to a version newer than <code>latest</code>, it will
- be <em>downgraded</em>.</p>
