How to uninstall gifine

janchytry opened this issue · comments

Gifine is a great tool but I have to reinstall it for certain reasons. I need to know how to uninstall it safely including its dependencies.

Because it uses luarocks installer and the dependencies and sub-dependencies are installed beforehand, obviously I cannot use:
sudo apt remove --auto-remove gifine

I succesfully uninstalled gifine, luarocks and gli. How can firstly-installed dependencies can be safely removed without affecting other system features?

You would have to manually uninstall those dependencies using the reverse command of what you used to install them. gifine doesn't come with an installation script, it only is a LuaRocks module. If you've removed the luarocks module then you've uninstalled all the code associated with the project.

Thanks, explains everything.
