npm-rebuild - Rebuild a package Synopsis npm rebuild [[<@scope>/]<name>[@<version>] ...] alias: rb Description This command runs the npm build command on the matched folders. This is useful when you install a new version of node, and must recompile all your C++ addons with the new binary. It is also useful when installing with --ignore-scripts and --no-bin-links, to explicitly choose which packages to build and/or link bins. If one or more package names (and optionally version ranges) are pro- vided, then only packages with a name and version matching one of the specifiers will be rebuilt. Configuration global o Default: false o Type: Boolean Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the pre- fix folder instead of the current working directory. See npm help fold- ers for more on the differences in behavior. o packages are installed into the {prefix}/lib/node_modules folder, instead of the current working directory. o bin files are linked to {prefix}/bin o man pages are linked to {prefix}/share/man bin-links o Default: true o Type: Boolean Tells npm to create symlinks (or .cmd shims on Windows) for package executables. Set to false to have it not do this. This can be used to work around the fact that some file systems don't support symlinks, even on osten- sibly Unix systems. foreground-scripts o Default: false o Type: Boolean Run all build scripts (ie, preinstall, install, and postinstall) scripts for installed packages in the foreground process, sharing stan- dard input, output, and error with the main npm process. Note that this will generally make installs run slower, and be much noisier, but can be useful for debugging. ignore-scripts o Default: false o Type: Boolean If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files. Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as npm start, npm stop, npm restart, npm test, and npm run-script will still run their intended script if ignore-scripts is set, but they will not run any pre- or post-scripts. workspace o Default: o Type: String (can be set multiple times) Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by this configuration option. Valid values for the workspace config are either: o Workspace names o Path to a workspace directory o Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all workspaces within that folder) When set for the npm init command, this may be set to the folder of a workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a brand new workspace within the project. This value is not exported to the environment for child processes. workspaces o Default: null o Type: null or Boolean Set to true to run the command in the context of all configured workspaces. Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like install to ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly: o Commands that operate on the node_modules tree (install, update, etc.) will link workspaces into the node_modules folder. - Commands that do other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project, unless one or more workspaces are specified in the workspace config. This value is not exported to the environment for child processes. include-workspace-root o Default: false o Type: Boolean Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command. When false, specifying individual workspaces via the workspace config, or all workspaces via the workspaces flag, will cause npm to operate only on the specified workspaces, and not on the root project. This value is not exported to the environment for child processes. install-links o Default: false o Type: Boolean When set file: protocol dependencies that exist outside of the project root will be packed and installed as regular dependencies instead of creating a symlink. This option has no effect on workspaces. See Also o npm help install
