\fBnpm-deprecate\fR \- Deprecate a version of a package
.SS Synopsis
.P
.RS 2
.nf
npm deprecate <pkg>[@<version range>] <message>
.fi
.RE
.P
Note: This command is unaware of workspaces\.
.SS Description
.P
This command will update the npm registry entry for a package, providing a
deprecation warning to all who attempt to install it\.
.P
It works on version ranges \fIhttps://semver\.npmjs\.com/\fR as well as specific
versions, so you can do something like this:
.P
.RS 2
.nf
npm deprecate my\-thing@"< 0\.2\.3" "critical bug fixed in v0\.2\.3"
.fi
.RE
.P
SemVer ranges passed to this command are interpreted such that they \fIdo\fR
include prerelease versions\.  For example:
.P
.RS 2
.nf
npm deprecate my\-thing@1\.x "1\.x is no longer supported"
.fi
.RE
.P
In this case, a version \fBmy\-thing@1\.0\.0\-beta\.0\fP will also be deprecated\.
.P
You must be the package owner to deprecate something\.  See the \fBowner\fP and
\fBadduser\fP help topics\.
.P
To un\-deprecate a package, specify an empty string (\fB""\fP) for the \fBmessage\fP 
argument\. Note that you must use double quotes with no space between them to 
format an empty string\.

If not set, and a registry response fails with a challenge for a one\-time
password, npm will prompt on the command line for one\.
