how to uninstall whizard

Asked by Si Wang

Hi,

I want to uninstall whizard, and reinstall to make it able to parallel run.
How to uninstall?

I tried to just install it again, but there are errors:
Fatal Error: Cannot rename module file ‘muta_i1_par_le_ltau_ufo.mod0’ to ‘muta_i1_par_le_ltau_ufo.mod’: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Thank you,
Si

Hi Si,
as far as I understand, you get this error when you try to run your Sindarin file using reinstalled Whizard supporting parallelization which has been compiled in the folder with your previous Whizard installation (please, correct me if I'm wrong). The easiest solution would be to remove the previous installation folder and install Whizard in a new one to make sure all the modules have been properly recompiled.

Please note we do not recommend running Whizard in the main installation directory. Instead, it is suggested to create separate workspaces for each run. It is then easier to simply remove them and create again if you want to process files using another Whizard installation.

Regards,
Krzysztof

Hi Krzysztof,

I can running whizard in any directory, it's a common command.
How to " create separate workspaces for each run" ?

Thank you!

Hi Si,
it is convenient to create a separate folder ("workspace") for each Sindarin file and run Whizard in this folder. Then, you can easily remove all the files from the given run just by removing the single folder. It is also a good way to keep process-specific files and the main Whizard code separate. I would also recommend creating the workspaces not in the main Whizard directory - otherwise, you can remove some Whizard modules, just by accident.

Regards,
Krzysztof

Hi Krzysztof,

The Whizard is a common command like "Python", I create each folder for each process.
The situation is previous installed Whizard conflict with new installed Whizard.
I guess the quickest way to solve it is to remove the old Whizard.

How to remove the old Whizard?
I didn't find uninstall choice.
Or what folder should I remove under installed path?

Thank you!
Si

Hi Si,
make uninstall completely removes a Whizard installation.
