Get_iplayer removal v2.94

How did you install the application?

From https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/ Clone or download

Downloaded Get_iplayer-master & extracted files but I do not now what to do next.

Thanks Andrew

If you installed get_iplayer 2.94-1 from the Ubuntu repositories, then you can uninstall it with the standard package management tools (e.g. Ubuntu-software), or with a command like "sudo apt-get purge get_iplayer" plus the clean-up command "sudo apt-get --purge autoremove" to delete packages not needed any more.

How can I be sure that get_iplayer has been removed?

richard@richard-H81M-S2H:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jon-hedgerows/get-iplayer
 get_iplayer lists, searches and records BBC iPlayer TV, Radio and Podcast programmes.

This PPA contains stable builds of get_iplayer, from the master branch at https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/, together with sufficiently recent backported builds of AtomicParsley and ffmpeg (for trusty only). rtmpdump is also available for releases up to yakkety only.

Note that support for rtmpdump in this ppa will disappear once get-iplayer stops using it completely, and rtmpdump will not be added for future releases after yakkety as use of rtmpdump with get_iplayer is now discouraged.

See https://launchpad.net/~jon-hedgerows/+archive/ubuntu/rtmpdump if you want to continue to use rtmpdump.

If the software in this PPA breaks your system, try
  sudo ppa-purge ppa:jon-hedgerows/get-iplayer

For help please read the fine manuals at:
  https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki
and use the forums:

Enjoy!
