[solved] on Linux system, how to remove FreeCAD by CLI?

Post by david69 »

how do you fully remove freecad-daily? the same question can be asked for stable freecad.

in a console, I did:

Code: Select all

sudo apt remove freecad-daily
followed by

Code: Select all

sudo apt purge freecad-daily
but it was not efficient. Then I had to use Synaptic (APT package manager), select "freecad-daily" and removed.

I've checked the page Installing_on_Linux hoping I can find some instructions or a link about that, but nothing.

Code: Select all
