Uninstall a Taxonomy Package, Reset
Uninstall a taxonomy package
You can uninstall packages using either the Taxonomy Package Manager GUI or by sending Taxonomy Package Manager the uninstall instructions via the command line.
Note: If the package you want to uninstall references other packages, then the referenced packages will also be uninstalled. The referenced packages will be listed before being uninstalled, and you will be asked to confirm the action.
In the GUI
To uninstall packages in the Taxonomy Package Manager GUI, clear their check boxes and click Apply. The selected packages and their referenced packages will be uninstalled.
To uninstall all packages, click Deselect All and click Apply.
On the CLI
To uninstall packages via the command line, run the uninstall command:
taxonomypackagemanager.exe uninstall [options] TaxonomyPackage+
where each TaxonomyPackage argument is a package you want to uninstall. A package is specified by an identifier that has a format of <name>-<version>. (The identifiers of packages are displayed when you run the list command.) You can enter as many packages as you like, in a space-separated list. For details, see the description of the uninstall command.
Note: On Linux, use the sudo ./taxonomypackagemanager command.
Reset Taxonomy Package Manager
You can reset Taxonomy Package Manager. Note that a reset in the GUI is different than the reset command.
•In the GUI, click Reset Selection. This resets the GUI to show what packages are currently installed. Any selections or de-selections made in the current session will be canceled.
•On the CLI, run the reset command. This removes all installed packages and the cache directory.
Note the following points about the reset command:
•After running this command, make sure to run the initialize command in order to recreate the cache directory. Alternatively, run the reset command with the -i option.
•Since the command reset -i restores the original installation of the product, it is recommended that you run the update command after performing a reset. Alternatively, run the reset command with the -i and -u options.
