ecalj Uninstall

InstallAll.py writes an install manifest into BIN_DIR (ecalj_install_manifest.txt, default ~/bin/). Uninstall is then three commands:

# 1. Remove BIN_DIR symlinks + the bash-completion block in ~/.bashrc.
cd <path-to-ecalj-checkout>
python3 uninstall.py

# 2. Open a new shell so the completion handlers drop out of the session.
#    (Or: `source ~/.bashrc` in this shell.)

# 3. Delete the source checkout itself.
rm -rf <path-to-ecalj-checkout>

That's it. Nothing is written to /usr/local/, /etc/, or any system path during install, so no sudo is needed at any step.

What uninstall.py actually does

It reads BIN_DIR/ecalj_install_manifest.txt and removes every path listed there, which covers:

• Symlinks placed in BIN_DIR by InstallAll.py and by the CMake deliver target — lmf, lmfa, lmchk, gwsc, hsfp0, hx0fp0, hvccfp0, libecaljF*.so, viewvesta, ctrl2vasp, vasp2ctrl, getsyml, slot_run.py, slot_scheduler_daemon.py, every job_* workflow, ecalj_complete.bash, ...
• Real files dropped alongside them — ecalj_cmdopts.list and libgemmul8.* (the latter only if you installed with --gemmul8).

Then it strips the auto-installed bash-completion block from ~/.bashrc (the one bracketed by # >>> ecalj bash completion (auto-installed by InstallAll.py) >>> and # <<< ecalj bash completion <<<), and finally deletes the manifest file itself.

Common flags:

python3 uninstall.py --dry-run        # show what would be removed, change nothing
python3 uninstall.py -y               # skip the y/N confirmation
python3 uninstall.py --bindir ~/opt   # if you installed to a non-default BIN_DIR
python3 uninstall.py --no-bashrc      # leave ~/.bashrc untouched

The source checkout (the ecalj/ directory itself, including SRC/build_*/ and Samples/TestInstall/*_work/) is not touched by uninstall.py — step 3 above (rm -rf <ecalj-checkout>) is the one command that removes it.

If the manifest is missing

You may have an older install that pre-dates the manifest (or you removed the manifest by hand). Two options:

1. Re-run InstallAll.py once to regenerate the manifest, then run uninstall.py.

2. Remove by hand:

   ECALJ_DIR=~/ecalj     # path to your ecalj checkout
   BIN_DIR=~/bin         # whatever you passed as --bindir
   
   # All BIN_DIR entries from ecalj are symlinks back into the clone.
   find "$BIN_DIR" -maxdepth 1 -type l -lname "${ECALJ_DIR%/}/*" -delete
   rm -f "$BIN_DIR/ecalj_cmdopts.list" "$BIN_DIR"/libgemmul8.*
   
   # Strip the bash-completion block.
   sed -i '/# >>> ecalj bash completion (auto-installed by InstallAll.py) >>>/,/# <<< ecalj bash completion <<</d' ~/.bashrc
   
   # Remove the checkout.
   rm -rf "$ECALJ_DIR"
