How to completely reinstall from scratch? #97

Closed convoliution closed 3 years ago

convoliution commented 3 years ago

Question

Long story short, Teleport seems borked on my machines and I can't get them to exchange control at all. I'd like to completely reinstall them on both of my computers, but it seems that certain settings persist (e.g. the certificate used for encryption). Is there something I'm missing during the reinstallation process?

My steps:

brew uninstall -f abyssoft-teleport
defaults delete com.abyssoft.teleport
brew install -f --cask abyssoft-teleport

Guidance and assistance is appreciated!

If you installed via Homebrew, you can try brew uninstall --cask --zap abyssoft-teleport. The zap flag should delete all the related config files for you.

If you installed manually, you'll need to look in your ~/Library folder to find the com.abyssoft.teleport.plist files and remove those. I don't know the exact filenames, but a safe bet would be to search via Finder for abyssoft and remove any plist files.

If you're not comfortable with that, a last resort would be to use a cleaner tool, they can usually find associated config files to remove.

Good luck. I'm going to close this, but feel free to ask more questions if this didn't solve it for you.
