# npm-ls

List installed packages

## SYNOPSIS

    npm list [<pkg> ...]
    npm ls [<pkg> ...]
    npm la [<pkg> ...]
    npm ll [<pkg> ...]

## DESCRIPTION

This command will print to stdout all the versions of packages that are installed, as well as their dependencies, in a tree-structure.

Positional arguments are `name@version-range` identifiers, which will limit the results to only the paths to the packages named. Note that nested packages will also show the paths to the specified packages. For example, running `npm ls promzard` in npm's source tree will show:

    npm@1.3.8 /path/to/npm
    └─┬ init-package-json@0.0.4
      └── promzard@0.1.5

It will print out extraneous, missing, and invalid packages.

If a project specifies git urls for dependencies these are shown in parentheses after the name@version to make it easier for users to recognize potential forks of a project.

When run as `ll` or `la`, it shows extended information by default.
