--- section: cli-commands title: npm-restart description: Restart a package --- # npm-restart(1) ## Restart a package ### Synopsis ```bash npm restart [-- <args>] ``` ### Description This restarts a package. This runs a package's "stop", "restart", and "start" scripts, and associated pre- and post- scripts, in the order given below: 1. prerestart 2. prestop 3. stop 4. poststop 5. restart 6. prestart 7. start 8. poststart 9. postrestart ### Note Note that the "restart" script is run **in addition to** the "stop" and "start" scripts, not instead of them. This is the behavior as of `npm` major version 2. A change in this behavior will be accompanied by an increase in major version number ### See Also * [npm run-script](/cli-commands/npm-run-script) * [npm scripts](/using-npm/scripts) * [npm test](/cli-commands/npm-test) * [npm start](/cli-commands/npm-start) * [npm stop](/cli-commands/npm-stop) * [npm restart](/cli-commands/npm-restart)
