How do I uninstall STM32CubeIDE from macOS?

[BFrau.1]

I would like to remove STM32CubeIDE (v1.2.0) from my Mac (os 10.14.6).

Removing the IDE is straightforward, just drag the .app to the trash. But how do I remove the ST Link Server from my machine? The ST Link Server Installer doesn't specify where it is putting files on my Mac, and I would like to remove these too.

Thanks!

Hi BFrau.1,

Here is the way to remove packages on MacOS:

# retrieve package name
$ pkgutil --pkgs | grep stlink
com.st.pkg.st-stlink-server
 
# check root package location
$ pkgutil --pkg-info com.st.pkg.st-stlink-server
package-id: com.st.pkg.st-stlink-server
version: xxxx
volume: /
location: /
install-time: xxxx
 
# list package file
$ pkgutil --only-files --files  com.st.pkg.st-stlink-server
usr/local/bin/stlink-server
usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib
usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.dylib
 
# manually remove such files (never understood why it's not done by the next command)
$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/stlink-server /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.dylib
 
# remove the package from database
$ sudo pkgutil --forget com.st.pkg.st-stlink-server

HTH 😉
