How to remove julia completely from my system? #246

Closed kirk86 closed 6 years ago

kirk86 commented 6 years ago

@staticfloat Please could you let us know how to completely remove julia from our systems. I've tried brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies --force $(brew deps --recursive julia) but when I do which julia it gives me: /usr/loca/bin/julia -> Cellar/julia/HEAD/bin/julia. So what is the correct way to completely remove julia from our systems?

Permission denied just means that your permissions are somehow screwed up. Try running this first:

$ chown $(id -u):$(id -g) -R /usr/local/Cellar/julia

Then run it again.

@staticfloat thanks a lot for the hint. The chown command didn't do the trick but the chmod -R 755 did it and the brew uninstall worked fine. Thanks!
