Request: Add option to uninstall #27

Closed MyNameIsMohamad closed 6 years ago

MyNameIsMohamad commented 6 years ago

Hello dagrha,

It would be most appreciated by me and (hopefully) other users that you add an uninstall option to pypia when installing via manual method (git clone method). If not, add maybe an uninstall guide in the README.

Much appreciated, Mohamad

Thanks for the comment, Mohamad. I can look into a good uninstall routine. In the meantime, I'd love to hear your feedback about why you want to uninstall it. Does pypia not work for you? Something bad about the user experience that is driving you to uninstall? Let me know and I can try to improve it.

You can remove the keys files by using this command: find /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ -name 'PIA*' -delete

To delete the PIA cert you can do rm /etc/openvpn/ca.rsa.2048.crt

Then you can just delete the folder you cloned.

That should take care of all the files that pypia adds.

dagrha,

I simply want to uninstall it so that I can install it through pip. I have followed through with your instructions and they have completed successfully.

To mention, on Fedora 27 the 'pip' command uses python 2.7 while 'pip-3', 'pip3.6' 'pip-3.6' 'pip3' use python3. I remember trying to install pypia with the 'pip' command but I got a bunch of errors, presumably because I was using the 'pip' command, which uses python 2.7.

Best regards, Mohamad

Thanks Mohamed. It's a good point about the pip vs pip3... I should make a note about that in the readme...
