Uninstall node-gyp

Question

node-gyp was installed as a dependency of one of the modules I have used. Since then, every time I run a npm install command I am greeted with around a minute of my console being spammed with errors which are seemingly caused by node-gyp.

I don't want anything to do with node-gyp, but it seems to resist any attempt to uninstall it. I have tried using npm remove node-gyp, but with no results.

Solution

If you have installed it globally (which I suppose given your description), you need to specify -g to the uninstall command:

npm -g uninstall node-gyp
