Boxen folder keep recreat itself with logs folder #801

Closed chriswu14 closed 8 years ago

chriswu14 commented 8 years ago
  1. I am new to Mac.
  2. My friend used to use boxen to install lots of stuff regarding to front-end developing on this Mac
  3. I try to do everything from sratch so I decide to uninstall everything.
  4. I FIRST tried to deleted the /opt/boxen folder and empty trash

Result: /opt/boxen keeps recreating itself as soon as I delete it. I guess there must be some tricks boxen did before it was first installed. How can I remove the folder on earth?

Thanks for helping

I will guess it is because the stuff got installed by boxen before are still targeting opt/boxen/logs as their log folder?

Q: How do you remove Boxen?

Run script/nuke from inside the /opt/boxen/repo directory.

It sounds like you've already removed the nuke script from your machine; if you want, you can download and run it on its own: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boxen/our-boxen/master/script/nuke

I'd also recommend not attempting to run this on an already setup machine with things like ruby/node installed as it does mess with Boxen and makes setup quite a bit more difficult.
