1541cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>This command will update all the packages listed to the latest version
1551cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci(specified by the <a href="../using-npm/config#tag.html"><code>tag</code> config</a>), respecting the semver
1561cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciconstraints of both your package and its dependencies (if they also require the
1571cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cisame package).</p>
1581cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>It will also install missing packages.</p>
1591cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>If the <code>-g</code> flag is specified, this command will update globally installed
1601cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cipackages.</p>
1611cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>If no package name is specified, all packages in the specified location (global
1621cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cior local) will be updated.</p>
1631cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Note that by default <code>npm update</code> will not update the semver values of direct
1641cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cidependencies in your project <code>package.json</code>. If you want to also update
1651cb0ef41Sopenharmony_civalues in <code>package.json</code> you can run: <code>npm update --save</code> (or add the
1661cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<code>save=true</code> option to a <a href="../configuring-npm/npmrc.html">configuration file</a>
1671cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cito make that the default behavior).</p>

1871cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h4 id="caret-dependencies">Caret Dependencies</h4>
1881cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>If <code>app</code>'s <code>package.json</code> contains:</p>

1911cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci}
1921cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</code></pre>
1931cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Then <code>npm update</code> will install <code>dep1@1.2.2</code>, because <code>1.2.2</code> is <code>latest</code> and
1941cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<code>1.2.2</code> satisfies <code>^1.1.1</code>.</p>
1951cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h4 id="tilde-dependencies">Tilde Dependencies</h4>
1961cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>However, if <code>app</code>'s <code>package.json</code> contains:</p>

2011cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>In this case, running <code>npm update</code> will install <code>dep1@1.1.2</code>.  Even though the
2021cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<code>latest</code> tag points to <code>1.2.2</code>, this version does not satisfy <code>~1.1.1</code>, which is
2031cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciequivalent to <code>&gt;=1.1.1 &lt;1.2.0</code>.  So the highest-sorting version that satisfies
2041cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<code>~1.1.1</code> is used, which is <code>1.1.2</code>.</p>
2051cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h4 id="caret-dependencies-below-100">Caret Dependencies below 1.0.0</h4>
2061cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Suppose <code>app</code> has a caret dependency on a version below <code>1.0.0</code>, for example:</p>

2111cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p><code>npm update</code> will install <code>dep1@0.2.0</code>.</p>
2121cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>If the dependence were on <code>^0.4.0</code>:</p>

2171cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Then <code>npm update</code> will install <code>dep1@0.4.1</code>, because that is the highest-sorting
2181cb0ef41Sopenharmony_civersion that satisfies <code>^0.4.0</code> (<code>&gt;= 0.4.0 &lt;0.5.0</code>)</p>
2191cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h4 id="subdependencies">Subdependencies</h4>
2201cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Suppose your app now also has a dependency on <code>dep2</code></p>

2281cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</code></pre>
2291cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>and <code>dep2</code> itself depends on this limited range of <code>dep1</code></p>
2301cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<pre><code class="language-json">{

2361cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</code></pre>
2371cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Then <code>npm update</code> will install <code>dep1@1.1.2</code> because that is the highest
2381cb0ef41Sopenharmony_civersion that <code>dep2</code> allows.  npm will prioritize having a single version
2391cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciof <code>dep1</code> in your tree rather than two when that single version can
2401cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cisatisfy the semver requirements of multiple dependencies in your tree.
2411cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciIn this case if you really did need your package to use a newer version
2421cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciyou would need to use <code>npm install</code>.</p>
2431cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h4 id="updating-globally-installed-packages">Updating Globally-Installed Packages</h4>
2441cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p><code>npm update -g</code> will apply the <code>update</code> action to each globally installed

2471cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Note: Globally installed packages are treated as if they are installed with a

2491cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cineed to run <code>npm install -g [&lt;pkg&gt;...]</code></p>
2501cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>NOTE: If a package has been upgraded to a version newer than <code>latest</code>, it will

2941cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Instead of hoisting package installs in <code>node_modules</code>, install packages in
2951cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cithe same manner that they are depended on. This may cause very deep
2961cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cidirectory structures and duplicate package installs as there is no
2971cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cide-duplicating. Sets <code>--install-strategy=nested</code>.</p>

3081cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<ul>
3091cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<li>Default: 'dev' if the <code>NODE_ENV</code> environment variable is set to

3111cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<li>Type: "dev", "optional", or "peer" (can be set multiple times)</li>
3121cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</ul>
3131cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Dependency types to omit from the installation tree on disk.</p>
3141cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Note that these dependencies <em>are</em> still resolved and added to the
3151cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<code>package-lock.json</code> or <code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code> file. They are just not
3161cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciphysically installed on disk.</p>
3171cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>If a package type appears in both the <code>--include</code> and <code>--omit</code> lists, then
3181cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciit will be included.</p>
3191cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>If the resulting omit list includes <code>'dev'</code>, then the <code>NODE_ENV</code> environment
3201cb0ef41Sopenharmony_civariable will be set to <code>'production'</code> for all lifecycle scripts.</p>

3251cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</ul>
3261cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Option that allows for defining which types of dependencies to install.</p>
3271cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>This is the inverse of <code>--omit=&lt;type&gt;</code>.</p>
3281cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Dependency types specified in <code>--include</code> will not be omitted, regardless of

3341cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</ul>
3351cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>If set to <code>true</code>, and <code>--legacy-peer-deps</code> is not set, then <em>any</em>

3371cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciif npm could reasonably guess the appropriate resolution based on non-peer
3381cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cidependency relationships.</p>
3391cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>By default, conflicting <code>peerDependencies</code> deep in the dependency graph will
3401cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cibe resolved using the nearest non-peer dependency specification, even if
3411cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cidoing so will result in some packages receiving a peer dependency outside
3421cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cithe range set in their package's <code>peerDependencies</code> object.</p>
3431cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>When such an override is performed, a warning is printed, explaining the
3441cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciconflict and the packages involved. If <code>--strict-peer-deps</code> is set, then
3451cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cithis warning is treated as a failure.</p>

3511cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>If set to false, then ignore <code>package-lock.json</code> files when installing. This
3521cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciwill also prevent <em>writing</em> <code>package-lock.json</code> if <code>save</code> is true.</p>

3601cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciscripts for installed packages in the foreground process, sharing standard
3611cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciinput, output, and error with the main npm process.</p>
3621cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Note that this will generally make installs run slower, and be much noisier,

3711cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<code>npm start</code>, <code>npm stop</code>, <code>npm restart</code>, <code>npm test</code>, and <code>npm run-script</code>
3721cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciwill still run their intended script if <code>ignore-scripts</code> is set, but they

3901cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Set to false to have it not do this. This can be used to work around the
3911cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cifact that some file systems don't support symlinks, even on ostensibly Unix
3921cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cisystems.</p>
