How to unistall it? #197

Open waydant opened 2 years ago

What are the commands to uninstall the following download? sudo apt-get install build-essential git automake xdotool autoconf intltool autopoint gtk+-3.0 ( Kindly do also add this type of information in the readme. )

Based on the information in your issue, it's not possible for anybody to know which of these were already installed on the system when you ran it, so you can't simply reverse that command. You can try sudo apt autoremove --purge build-essential git automake xdotool autoconf intltool autopoint gtk+-3.0, iteratively removing packages from the command until apt no longer warns you about removing required dependencies, and then saying yes to that final command. I would not recommend doing this. Aside from xdotool, those are pretty basic packages and I wouldn't encourage you to remove them, and they were just included in the README's command for completeness. This command would also not remove ClipIt from your system, which I'm assuming is what you want to do here.

Here's my suggestion, which I believe to be in line with your intent: cd to the directory into which you git cloned this repository sudo make uninstall sudo apt autoremove --purge xdotool
