[SOLVED] uninstall appwrite cli on Linux when installed through install.sh script

[surreal prairie]

Accidentally installed 6.0.0 CLI and unable to downgrade 5.0.5 or uninstall it since my self hosted instance is still running 1.5.7.

I would appreciate any guidance to correct the installation

[sleek abyss]

Why you're unable to downgrade the CLI?

You can't uninstall it and install the prior version?

Or you need help to do that process?

[surreal prairie]

Indeed unable to uninstall it .. I can install 5.0.5 from NPM but the appwrite -v still tell me 6.0.0

[sleek abyss]

You can't unisntall the 6.0.0? What command did you have run in order to try uninstalling it?

Do you have restarted the terminal after uninstall?

[surreal prairie]

I don’t know what command to use .. I installed it not via NPM but the install.sh script appwrite offers.. npm uninstall doesn’t work

Looked through the install.sh code but can’t really find any solutions .. I know appwrite executable is installed in usr / bin ..

[sleek abyss]

I'm not sure about the process 🤔

[surreal prairie]

😞😞😞 stuck.. it’s odd appwrite offers an installation script for Linux and then you can remove it

What which appwrite show?

[surreal prairie]

6.0.0

[fierce ether]

Huh?

[surreal prairie]

Oh sorry it’s usr/local/bin

[fierce ether]

So you should just be able to delete the appwrite executable in that folder

[surreal prairie]

I can manage that.. and then NPM install 5.0.5 ? Does the install.sh script do anything else that needs to be reversed ?

[fierce ether]

Yes, NPM install.

No the install script doesn't do anything else

Thank you 🙏🏼.. will try it today and mark the thread closed if it works
