Can't uninstall khoj

[BMiber]

Downloaded khoj in powershell and I checked, runs in both command terminal and powershell. I try to uninstall with pip uninstall khoj-assistant but it says WARNING: Skipping khoj-assistant as it is not installed.

[sabaimran]

@BMiber , that sounds rather strange! I tried to reproduce it on my end, but was able to uninstall.

(.venv) si@redwood test-uninstall % pip uninstall khoj-assistant
Found existing installation: khoj-assistant 0.11.1
Uninstalling khoj-assistant-0.11.1:
  Would remove:

Could you provide more information about your development environment -- are you using a virtual environment? Are you running the uninstall command from the same environment?

i am facing the same issue: i am self hosting khoj and installed it using pip on windows

Windows PowerShell

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6

PS C:\Windows\system32> pip uninstall khoj
WARNING: Skipping khoj as it is not installed.
PS C:\Windows\system32>

edit:

my bad, i was following the instructions at https://docs.khoj.dev/get-started/setup#uninstall-server to uninstall khoj, but from reading the messages above, looks like the correct uninstallation method is pip uninstall khoj-assistant

[sabaimran]

Yup! All good. It has to be pip uninstall khoj-assistant.

[STORMFIRE007]

Sorry but now even the pip uninstall khoj-assistant isn't working anymore, it worked for the first time, but now when i tried uninstalling khoj again using the same command, it's not working

PS C:\Windows\system32> pip uninstall khoj
WARNING: Skipping khoj as it is not installed.
PS C:\Windows\system32> pip uninstall khoj-assistant

khoj is clearly installed as i can run it using khoj --anonymous-mode :

Huh, that's weird. Why does it seem to be creating two threads? A lonely of the log lines are duplicated.

Where did you install? You didn't use a virtual environment?

Couple things to try investigating here:

# Check where pip is installing packages
python -m site

# Check specific package details
pip show khoj-assistant

This should help you collect some orientation on where the package is installed, get proof that it's actually there. It can help us debug further.

These are some other uninstallation methods you can try:

# uninstall with the user flag
pip uninstall khoj-assistant

# uninstall using full module path
python -m pip uninstall khoj-assistant

[STORMFIRE007]

no i didn't use a virtual environment, was that required? i apologize for the mistake

running the commands you suggested returns these messages:

It's generally better to use virtual environments, because it isolates your packages! Highly recommend. See venv.

Ah sorry, I messed up one of my commands. Can you also try this one? pip uninstall --user khoj.

Also, I just remembered we transferred our package to the name khoj, so the commands don't need to use khoj-assistant. Can you try again?

pip show khoj
pip uninstall khoj
python -m pip uninstall khoj

Try pip list and see if either khoj-assistant or khoj are there.

What was the command you used to install the package?

[STORMFIRE007]

Ah sorry, I messed up one of my commands. Can you also try this one? pip uninstall --user khoj.

hmm.. it does nothing?:

PS C:\Windows\system32> pip uninstall --user khoj

Usage:
  pip uninstall [options] <package> ...
  pip uninstall [options] -r <requirements file> ...

no such option: --user
PS C:\Windows\system32>

Also, I just remembered we transferred our package to the name khoj, so the commands don't need to use khoj-assistant. Can you try again?

pip show khoj
pip uninstall khoj
python -m pip uninstall khoj

here are the results:

PS C:\Windows\system32> pip show khoj

i don't see it there, weird, since i am able to run it using khoj --anonymous-mode :

What was the command you used to install the package?

i use the one available on the https://docs.khoj.dev/get-started/setup/#setup-khoj page:

# 1. To use NVIDIA (CUDA) GPU
$env:CMAKE_ARGS = "-DGGML_CUDA=on"
# 2. Install Khoj
py -m pip install khoj

although the model doesn't run on GPU, it runs on CPU and loads into the RAM instead of VRAM, and downloads the GGUF models, unless i am misunderstanding here, do i have to manually enter a hugging face GPTQ or AWQ model for it to run in on my RTX 2060? (instead of a GGUF, which iirc is more suitable to run on a CPU (based on my knowledge of 1-2 years ago when messing with oobabooga textgen webui))

Weird. Okay we are going to try a few more things. First, let's see where that package is loading from.

where khoj

Next, try running this same command in reverse for uninstall. Just a shot in the dark.

py -m pip uninstall khoj

For running the model,

To be totally honest, I'm not sure. Because we don't have a GPU-enabled windows for testing, it's hard to verify some of these behaviors. You should be able to try out the other model types and run it. You just have to set the type to Offline and drop the name of the other model on huggingface in a new chatmodel option. Can you make a separate discussion for that issue?

weird, that result in nothing?...:

PS C:\Windows\system32> where khoj

sure, just to confirm if i am not misunderstanding, you want me to create a seperate post in "issues" or "discussions"?

py -m pip uninstall khoj

well that finally worked, thanks a lot for your help 👍:

output of py -m pip uninstall khoj.txt

btw just in case if it helps, here's some additional diagnostic information: i am running all of these commands on windows powershell and ran it as administrator also, there might have been complications when i tried installing and uninstalling khoj multiple times, perhaps i might have ran the install khoj command again when it was already installed and that broke some stuff?

Discussions is a good better idea! Usually, that's better if there's a bit of an open-ended question with uncertain resolution, not specifically a bug. Here's a link -- https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/discussions/

Glad to hear we could finally uninstall it! Whew. Thanks for your patience.

I don't think running the commands multiple times should have been a problem. I do recommend using WSL, as most things will generally "just work" that way, since you'll have a unix environment. Appreciate the additional context.

Hey, just giving a quick update in this thread since I was able to reproduce the issue and found a fix for two threads starting. For what it's worth, the second thread wasn't starting a server, so it wouldn't have affected any of the performance. Here's the commit with the fix. Should be in the next release.

i see, thanks a lot for information and fixing the issue 👍
