# npm-ls(1)
## List installed packages
### Synopsis
```bash
npm ls [[<@scope>/]<pkg> ...]
aliases: list, la, ll
```
### 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:
```bash
npm@@VERSION@ /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.
The tree shown is the logical dependency tree, based on package
dependencies, not the physical layout of your node_modules folder.
When run as `ll` or `la`, it shows extended information by default.
