I installed NodeJS from pkg file on my Mac. Now I need to uninstall it. Tell me please how to do it. I tried to remove files from this list:
lsbom -f
I ran:
lsbom -f -l -s -pf /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.pkg.bom \
| while read i; do
sudo rm /usr/local/${i}
done
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node \
/usr/local/lib/node_modules \
/var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.*
Coded into gist 2697848
Update
It seems the receipts .bom
file name may have changed so you may need to replace org.nodejs.pkg.bom
with org.nodejs.node.pkg.bom
in the above. The gist has been updated accordingly.
This is the full list of commands I used (Many thanks to the posters above):
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/include/node /Users/$USER/.npm
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/node
sudo rm /usr/local/share/man/man1/node.1
brew install node
I took AhrB's list, while appended three more files. Here is the full list I have used:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/include/node /Users/$USER/.npm
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/node
sudo rm /usr/local/share/man/man1/node.1
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/npm
sudo rm /usr/local/share/systemtap/tapset/node.stp
sudo rm /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d
# In case you want to reinstall node with HomeBrew:
# brew install node
I had to remove the following files too since brew complained in install later after manually removing all files.
/usr/local/share/doc/node/gdbinit
/usr/local/share/systemtap/tapset/node.stp
and then do the following
brew install node
brew link node
