Possible errors which may occur on this page

Error: Command 'brew' not found when uninstalling on macOS

This error occurs if you try to uninstall awaberry on macOS using the brew uninstall awaberry command, but the Homebrew package manager is not installed on your system, or the command was mistyped. The terminal will typically respond with something like "command not found: brew" or "zsh: command not found: brew".

To resolve: Ensure Homebrew is installed correctly, or manually remove awaberry if it was installed by other means. Double-check the command for typos.

Error: "Sorry, try again." or "Authentication failure" when using 'sudo su' on Linux/WSL

This error happens when you enter an incorrect password after typing sudo su to gain root privileges. The system will not grant you elevated access, preventing you from proceeding with the uninstallation steps that require root permissions.

To resolve: Carefully re-enter the correct password for your user account. If you've forgotten it, you may need to reset your user password or contact your system administrator.

Error: "No such file or directory" when changing directory to '/root/awaberrybaseinstaller' on Linux/WSL

This error indicates that the installation directory for awaberry, expected at /root/awaberrybaseinstaller, does not exist or has been moved. This could happen if awaberry was installed in a different location, or if the directory was accidentally deleted.

To resolve: Verify the actual installation path of awaberry. You might need to use commands like find / -name "awaberryuninstaller.sh" to locate the correct directory, or consult your original installation instructions.

Error: "Permission denied" or "command not found" when executing './awaberryuninstaller.sh' on Linux/WSL

This error means that the uninstaller script awaberryuninstaller.sh cannot be found in the current directory, or you do not have the necessary permissions to execute it. This can occur if the file was deleted, has a typo in its name, or its file permissions do not allow execution (e.g., if it's not marked as executable).

To resolve: First, ensure you are in the correct directory (/root/awaberrybaseinstaller). Then, check if the file exists using ls -l awaberryuninstaller.sh. If it exists but is not executable, you might need to change its permissions using chmod +x awaberryuninstaller.sh. If the file is missing, you may need to manually remove awaberry components or reinstall and then properly uninstall.
