Uninstalling python library installed from github clone

Can you tell me how should I uninstall Theano which I developed by cloning the Theano Git Repository?

I have:

$pip freeze | grep Theano
-e git://github.com/Theano/Theano.git@18319b8f426e99fa209c4910af7208c0d51c41a6#egg=Theano

sudo pip uninstall Theano returns Can't uninstall 'Theano'. No files were found to uninstall.

sudo pip install Theano gives:

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): theano in ./Theano
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): numpy>=1.7.1 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy-1.12.0.dev0+1436ec3-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg (from theano)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): scipy>=0.11 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from theano)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): six>=1.9.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from theano)

You can simply remove the Theano directory and egg file from /opt/anaconda/lib/pythonXX/site-packages.

You are probably not in the directory, where you were installing Theano.

I thinky, you have following options::

$ pip uninstall Theano/

This works for me (tested with moto as installing Theano requires some compiled packages which are failing on my machine).

Another option is to cd to the Theano dir and uninstal from here::

$ cd Theano
$ pip uninstall theano

If none of this works, last option is to manually remove it from system by deleting the Theano.egg-link file.

Assuming you are using virtualenv named testtheano::

$ cd ~/.virtualenvs/testtheano/lib/python2.7/site-packages
$ rm Theano.egg-link

If it installed some scripts, delete them too:

$ cd ~/.virtualenvs/testtheano/bin
$ rm <all-the-theano-scripts>

Find out where it's installed:

$ which Theano

and remove it.

The dependencies shouldn't cause you any harm and can be left in place. If you want to remove them, you can, but be careful, since they may well be required by other packages.
