Can't execute matter.py (access denied or command not found) #40

I deleted de matter folder. I need to fix it to remove the errors that the system is giving me. If there is way to uninstall it in other way then I will install it fine. Thanks

Sure! Just download matter again anywhere, and run ./matter.py -u to uninstall it.

I had already done it to update the icons after an update. But I get the following error: access denied. And using sudo

sudo: ./matter.py: order not found

Are you sure you are running sudo ./matter.py -u from within the matter folder? You should download matter, extract it and then cd into matter/ directory, and then run sudo ./matter.py -u (sudo should not be needed but you seem to be getting access denied errors, so let's give it a try). If you can copy-paste your terminal's output it may be useful as well.

Solved: I have gone to the properties of the file - Permissions- and checked the box "allow executing file as program"

Yes! I was just about to comment that! I fixed the file permissions in the latest release. Thanks for your report.
