Uninstalling Programs Question

Postby animaguy on Fri May 11, 2012 12:58 pm

I am very comfortable with installing programs via the command line with ./configure, make, and make install.

I want to learn the proper way to ininstall and remove a package from any given distro.

Can anyone help me understand the correct way to uninstall packages via command line?

There is NOT ONE SINGLE WAY to install/uninstall programs via terminal. Each distro has its own package manager and such. Debian and Debian based distros use apt (so you use the command "sudo apt install/uninstall {program}), if you use Fedora it uses YUM (so you use the command "sudo yum install/remove {program}).
