## Minimum dependency age

:::caution Unstable feature

This feature is currently unstable and may change in future versions.

:::

The `minimumDependencyAge` field in `deno.json` prevents Deno from downloading
dependencies that were published too recently. This is a supply chain security
measure that helps protect against attacks where a malicious version is published
and quickly consumed before being detected.

The value can be specified as a number of minutes, an ISO 8601 duration, or an
RFC 3339 date:

```json title="deno.json"
{
// Number of minutes — dependencies must be at least 2 hours old
"minimumDependencyAge": 120
}
```

```json title="deno.json"
{
// ISO 8601 duration — dependencies must be at least 2 days old
"minimumDependencyAge": "P2D"
}
```

```json title="deno.json"
{
// RFC 3339 date — only accept dependencies published before this date
"minimumDependencyAge": "2025-09-16"
}
```

This setting can be overridden on the command line with
`--minimum-dependency-age`:

```sh
# Override the configured minimum age
deno install --minimum-dependency-age=60

# Disable the minimum age check
deno install --minimum-dependency-age=0
```
