# Rescope Packages from @nrwl to @nx

As of version 16, all the official Nx plugins moved from the `@nrwl` npm scope to `@nx`. The goal is for anyone looking through a list of dependencies to easily make the connection between the `nx` package and the `@nx` plugins that are associated with it.

As of version 20, the `@nrwl` scoped packages will no longer be published to npm.

## What Do You Need To Do?

For new repos, run `npx create-nx-workspace` as usual. The correct packages will be added.

For existing repos, run `nx migrate` as you normally would. When migrating to version 16 or higher, the package names will be automatically updated for you. If you have a local script, update it to use `@nx/*` packages.

If you maintain a Nx plugin, please update it to use the `@nx/*` packages.

> If you come across Nrwl in blog posts, videos, or elsewhere, that content is likely referring to these packages. Depending on when the content was published, it is likely still relevant.

### Rename

The packages are being renamed as defined in the tables below:

The following packages were not simply rescoped `@nrwl` to `@nx`.

| Nx 15 and lower        | Nx 16 and higher  |
| ---------------------- | ----------------- |
| @nrwl/nx-cloud         | nx-cloud          |
| @nrwl/eslint-plugin-nx | @nx/eslint-plugin |

| Nx 15 and lower | Nx 16      | Nx 17      |
| --------------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| @nrwl/linter    | @nx/linter | @nx/eslint |
