OSX Packages Uninstaller

This software is aimed to help manage packages uninstalling in OSX.

Installation

Installation is as simple as:

[sudo] bash < <(curl -sL https://raw.github.com/mpapis/pkg_uninstaller/master/pkg-install)

Adding to PATH, for system installation (with sudo):

echo 'PATH=$PATH:/opt/pkg_uninstaller' >> /etc/profile

Adding PATH when installed as user (without sudo):

echo 'PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.pkg_uninstaller' >> $HOME/.bash_profile

Note the single quotes are important in both cases.

Installing package file

Install packages with:

pkg-install <package_file.pkg>

This will create uninstall_<package_file_pkg>.sh in current directory.

To uninstall this package just execute ./uninstall_<package_file_pkg>.sh.

Example

# coming soon

Uninstalling single packages by name.

List available package names (possibly filtering by [name]):

pkg-list [name]

Uninstall package:

pkg-uninstall <name>
