Installing apps is easy, just run a package. But what about removing/uninstalling the app? Not every developer creates an uninstaller script or removal tool so the idea for uninstaller was born.
uninstaller.sh removes software including preferences, license info, cache files, etc. It will not remove user data.
This can be usefull during troubleshooting unstable software: First completely uninstall the software before a reinstallation. Also if you want to automate a removal of software, for example after the migration to a different application. In some cases a software upgrade will fail if an older version is not fully uninstalled.
Run the uninstaller.sh script with the softwarename as the only required argument. For example
uninstaller.sh firefox
(work in progress)
