Installing .NET SDK on Ubuntu 20.04 with the commands listed in the Install .NET on Ubuntu docs:
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo apt-get update; \
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-6.0
produces no dotnet executable.
Command 'dotnet' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo snap install dotnet-sdk
Listing files from the package:
dpkg -L dotnet-sdk-6.0 | grep -P "dotnet$"
gives
/usr/share/dotnet
The /usr/share/dotnet directory contains no executable. I compared this result with my other Ubuntu installation where I installed dotnet ages ago, and there it is installed in /usr/share/dotnet but there exists a /usr/share/dotnet/dotnet executable.
What am I doing wrong? How to install dotnet on Ubuntu with APT?
Using snap is not an option.
sudo apt reinstall dotnet-host and then sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-6.0 fixed the issue.
See: https://github.com/dotnet/installer/issues/12939
dpkg -S /usr/bin/dotnet says that it was created by dotnet-host.
So maybe that package is missing in dotnet-sdk-6.0 and must be installed separately. I imagine they will fix it in some future version.
tl;dr $ sudo apt install dotnet-host
I'm running BackBox linux
I installed eclipse IDE for C/C++ by downloading it from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/helios/m7/eclipse-ide-linux-developers
i removed eclipse using sudo apt-get autoremove --purge eclipse
and then i executed sudo find / -name *[E,e]clipse* -exec sudo rm -rf {} \;
now when i do find (with sudo) on *[E,e]clipse* i get find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied
and when i search for eclipse in the search bar i still see an icon of eclipse
also Eclipse is still there in the in the apps list
i'm seeking to understand why is this happening and how to completely remove it
You were almost done,run this :
sudo apt-get autoremove eclipse*
rm -r ~/.eclipse/
this should remove all dependencies & packages for eclipse.
Run following commands:
sudo apt-get purge eclipse*
sudo apt-get autoremove eclipse*
rm -r ~/.eclipse/
This will uninstall the dependencies and related packages that were installed along with eclipse. This should do the trick.
I'm trying to delete linux kernel deb package using command sudo dpkg -r linux-header-3.19.8.992 but fails saying dependencies are there

I have installed nodejs(node-v4.2.1) in ubuntu 14.04 using zip file(tar.gz) downloaded from node js website(not using apt-get install.The location of installed node is /usr/local/bin.
while trying to uninstall it using sudo apt-get purge,sudo apt-get remove &sudo apt-get autoremove is not working.How could I uninstall it?
I got the solution from the links given below
http://hungred.com/how-to/completely-removing-nodejs-npm/
How to install node binary distribution files on Linux
I did the following steps and it works fine
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/npm
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/node
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/include/node/
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/man/man1/node.1
cd /home/userName
ls -ld .?* (to display hidden files)
# delete files/folders related with node
sudo rm -f .node_repl_history
sudo rm -rf .npm
To Re-install new version follow the below steps
1.Download new version from Node official website.In my case my downloaded file is node-v6.9.4-linux-x64.tar.xz
2.Move the file into /usr/local directory using the command
sudo mv Downloads/node-v6.9.4-linux-x64.tar.xz /usr/local
3.Use the below command to extract into appropriate directories in /usr/local
sudo tar --strip-components 1 -xf node-v6.9.4-linux-x64.tar.xz
-xf is to unzip .tar.xz for tar.gz use -xzf
4.verify installation
node --version
Check if there is an uninstall script in the zip, otherwise you need to clean /usr/local manually for any node related artefacts.
How do you uninstall node.js using the cmd line in linux?
For Ubuntu 12.04:
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
This will uninstall nodejs as well as npm.
Edit: If you know which package manager was used to install, it is best to uninstall with the same package manager. Examples for apt, make, yum are in other answers.
This is a manual approach:
Running which node will return something like /path/bin/node.
Then run cd /path
This is all that is added by Node.JS.
rm -r bin/node bin/node-waf include/node lib/node lib/pkgconfig/nodejs.pc share/man/man1/node.1
Now the only thing I don't know about is npm and what it has installed. If you install npm again into a custom path that starts off empty, then you can see what it adds and then you will be able to make a list for npm similar to the above list I made for node.
If you installed from source, you can issue the following command:
sudo make uninstall
If you followed the instructions on https://github.com/nodejs/node/wiki to install to your $HOME/local/node, then you have to type the following before the line above:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local/node
Sorry the answer of George Bailey does work very fine when you
want absolutely remove the node from your machine.
This answer is referred from : #tedeh
https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/issues/486
If you wanna install a new version of node you have to use the code below
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/yum
sudo yum remove -y nodejs
sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/nodesource*
sudo yum clean all
And add new nodejs version to "yum" an new version of node
#using this command for Node version 8
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -
#using this command for Node version 10
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash -
Install nodejs
sudo yum -y install nodejs
I hope it gonna help you guy!!!
To uninstall node I followed the accepted answer by #George, as I no longer have the sources, but before doing so I ran:
sudo npm rm npm -g
That seemed to get rid of npm from the system directories such as /usr/bin/npm and /usr/lib/npm. I got the command from here. I then found a ~/.npm directory, which I deleted manually. Honestly I don't know if every trace of npm has been removed, but I can't find anything else.
If you installed node using curl + yum:
sudo curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | bash -
sudo yum -y install nodejs
Then you can remove it using yum:
sudo yum remove nodejs
Note that using the curl script causes the wrong version of node to be installed. There is a bug that causes node v6.7 to be installed instead of v4.x intended by the path (../setup_4.x) used in the curl script.
This is better to remove NodeJS and its modules manually because installation leaves a lot of files, links and modules behind and later it create problems while we reconfigure another version of NodeJS and its modules.
Run the following commands.
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/npm /usr/local/share/man/man1/node* /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d ~/.npm ~/.node-gyp /opt/local/bin/node opt/local/include/node /opt/local/lib/node_modules
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/include/node*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/node*
and this done.
A step by step guide with commands is at http://amcositsupport.blogspot.in/2016/07/to-completely-uninstall-node-js-from.html
This helped me resolve my problem.
I think Manoj Gupta had the best answer from what I'm seeing. However, the remove command doesn't get rid of any configuration folders or files that may be leftover. Use:
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove nodejs
The purge command should remove the package and then clean up any configuration files. (see this question for more info on the difference between purge and remove). The auto-remove flag will do the same for packages that were installed by NodeJS.
See the accepted answer on this question for a better explanation.
Although don't forget to handle NPM! Josh's answer covers that.
The answer of George Bailey works fine.
I would just add the following flags and use sudo if needed:
sudo rm -rf bin/node bin/node-waf include/node lib/node lib/pkgconfig/nodejs.pc share/man/man1/node
if you want to just update node, there's a neat updater too
https://github.com/creationix/nvm
to use,
git clone git://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm
source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm install v0.4.1
I think this works, at least partially (have not investigated):
nvm uninstall <VERSION_TO_UNINSTALL>
eg:
nvm uninstall 4.4.5
If you have yum you could do:
yum remove nodesource-release* nodejs
yum clean all
And after that check if its deleted:
rpm -qa 'node|npm'
after installing using the "ROCK-SOLID NODE.JS PLATFORM ON UBUNTU" script, i get this output. Which tells you how to uninstall nodejs.
Done. The new package has been installed and saved to
/tmp/node-install/node-v0.8.19/nodejs_0.8.19-1_i386.deb
You can remove it from your system anytime using:
dpkg -r nodejs
Best way to go around this is to do it right from the BEGINNING:
INSTALL BREW
#HERE IS HOW: PASTE IN TERMINAL
sudo apt-get install build-essential curl git m4 ruby texinfo libbz2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libexpat-dev libncurses-dev zlib1g-dev
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/linuxbrew/go/install)"
Then at the end of your .bashrc file(In your home directory press Ctrl + H)
export PATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/bin:$PATH"
export MANPATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/share/man:$MANPATH"
export INFOPATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/share/info:$INFOPATH"
Then restart terminal so the modification to .bashrc are reloaded
TO INSTALL NODE
brew install node
TO CHECK VERSION
node -v
npm -v
TO UPDATE NODE
brew update
brew upgrade node
TO UNINSTALL NODE
brew uninstall node
To Remove nodejs installed in centos 8:
From your home directory, run the below command
sudo yum remove nodejs
Enter y to confirm your command
In addition to apt or yum removal, clean any residual files to avoid conflicts if you ever install a new version:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/npm
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/man/man1/node*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d
sudo rm -rf ~/.npm
sudo rm -rf ~/.node-gyp
sudo rm -rf /opt/local/bin/node
sudo rm -rf opt/local/include/node
sudo rm -rf /opt/local/lib/node_modules
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/include/node*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/node*
For Centos 7 and 8
Remove NodeJS
sudo yum remove -y nodejs
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/yum
sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/nodesource*
sudo yum clean all
Remove residual files
whereis node
sudo rm -rfv /usr/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node /usr/share/man/man1/node.1.gz
sudo rm -rfv /usr/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm /usr/share/man/man1/npm.1.gz
sudo rm -rfv /usr/local/bin/npx
sudo rm -rfv /usr/local/lib/node*
sudo rm -rfv /usr/local/include/node*
sudo rm -rfv /usr/lib/node_modules/
Just remove these files. No need to do anything else.
rm -rf ~/.nvm
rm -rf ~/.npm
rm -rf ~/.bower
