How to completely remove youtube-dl from mac?
I installed youtube-dl with brew but it wasn't working... It kept saying connection refused. So, I tried to reinstall in using the curl command at - https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl
sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
Still didn't work... I tried uninstalling it like I did the first time with
brew remove youtube-dl
But that's obviously not working cause I didn't install it the second time with brew. I just want to remove it now.
Answer
Let analyse the command you install:
sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
We can see the youtube-dl is install in our system path:
/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
So, in here we can remove the path directly.
$rm -rf /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
Maybe its not done yet, I used the command find if any remain path.
$sudo find / -name youtube-dl
After a few minutes waiting...There is no more remain youtube-dl in my mac. Cong!
