I am trying to get silent install and uninstall using InstallJammer.
I was able to install silently by changing Default Install Mode to silent under platform information . But how can I specify the uninstall to be silent?
Thanks in advance,
Srirekha
InstallJammer will create uninstall.exe in the root directory of the installed product. Do
uninstall.exe /s
from a command prompt for a silent uninstall.
You can see all possible options by doing:
uninstall.exe /?

I tried to reinstall Ovftool into my Centos and replace it with an old version but getting a message which I don't know how to fix it.
command to uninstall it
vmware-installer -u vmware-ovftool
command to install it again
sudo ./VMware-ovftool-4.3.0-7948156-lin.x86_64.bundle
Message received :
Cannot place vmware-ovftool 4.3.0 in the uninstall list.
Any advice?
In this case it's better to use the built-in yum remove <package> this may remove conflicting config.
Using rpm -e <package> is even better, if available, because it guarantees to remove remaining config. It will back up modified config files, but these won't interfere with future installations.
The package name for vmware-ovftool is open-vm-tools on my Ubuntu box, it may be worth checking that too, it could be the same on RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux as well.
Simply install another bundle and everything back to normal.
After searcher for about an hour and only getting install options I have to ask. How to uninstall iTerm2.
So some how I passed a big load of JSON into it (don't ask) and now it has lost the plot some what. So I want to kill it and start over, profile and all.
If it's installed by Homebrew then you could use brew cask uninstall iterm2.
If it's installed by a manually downloaded DMG file then
you could goto the /Applications folder in Finder, find the iTerm
Icon, right-click it and then move to trash.
Moving iTerm2 from Applications to Trash or performaning a brew uninstall --cask iterm2 may not be enough as it leaves behind Finder Context Menu Items:
There's FAQ entry covering how to remove all settings:
defaults delete com.googlecode.iterm2
However, running the above command does not remove the items from the Finder Context Menu even after a killall Finder.
I opened an issue on the iTerm repo on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/issues/8459.
Look there for updates on how to uninstall iTerm2 completely.
To completely remove in using terminal:
Quit the app.
Open Terminal and execute the following.
sudo rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist
sudo rm -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/iTerm2
sudo rm -r /Applications/iTerm.app
Use the free drag-and-drop AppCleaner app
Doing so will locate and remove all iTerm files like so:
Search iterm globally to ensure that all executable programs named iterm on your Mac are deleted. Then right-click the context menu and select open with iterm once. At this time, it will report an error. Click OK. Right click again to view the context menu, and you will find that iterm has disappeared from your list.
So I'm trying python 2.7 on my Windows. It is running Windows 8. I cannot add it to my path. I've done the usual: using the advanced system settings, environment variables, adding C:\Python27 in system variables.
However, when I type Python in command prompt it says 'python is not recognized ..'
I think that the essence of this question is how to install Python and be able to use it from the command line. The steps below show how to get all that working. Check that you didn't miss anything:
From https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.6 download appropriate Python 2.7.6 Windows Installer. (If that link doesn't work, check https://www.python.org/downloads/)
Run the file
Select install for all users or install just for me, click Next
You'll see it installs under the C:\Python27 folder, click Next
Click Next again for the 'Customize Python' step
Click Finish
Open Control Panel, then System
Click 'Advanced system settings' on the left
Click the 'Environment Variables' button
Under 'System variables' click the variable called 'Path' then the 'Edit...' button. (This will set it for all users, you could instead choose to edit the User variables to just set python as a command prompt command for the current user)
Without deleting any other text, add C:\Python27; (include the semi-colon) to the beginning of the 'Variable value' and click OK.
Click OK on the 'Environment Variables' window.
Open a new command prompt window type python, you will have python running in the command prompt. Note: command prompt windows open prior to setting the Environment Variable will not have the python command available.
Easiest way is to open CMD or powershell as administrator and type
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Python27
System variables usually require a restart to become effective. Does it still not work after a restart?
Make sure you don't put a space between the semi-colon and the new folder location that you are adding to the path.
For example it should look like...
{last path entry};C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts;
...not...
{last path entry}; C:\Python27; C:\Python27\Scripts;
How to install Python / Pip on Windows Steps
Visit the official Python download page and grab the Windows installer for the latest version of Python 3.
python.org/downloads/
Run the installer. Be sure to check the option to add Python to your PATH while installing.
Open PowerShell as admin by right clicking on the PowerShell icon and selecting ‘Run as Admin’
To solve permission issues, run the following command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Next, set the system’s PATH variable to include directories that include Python components and packages we’ll add later. To do this:
C:\Python35-32;C:\Python35-32\Lib\site-packages\;C:\Python35-32\Scripts\
download the bootstrap scripts for easy_install and pip from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/
ez_setup.py
get-pip.py
Save both the files in Python Installed folder
Go to Python folder and run following:
Python ez_setup.py
Python get-pip.py
To create a Virtual Environment, use the following commands:
cd c:\python
pip install virtualenv
virtualenv test
.\test\Scripts\activate.ps1
pip install IPython
ipython3
Now You can install any Python package with pip
That’s it !!
happy coding
Visit This link for Easy steps of Installation python and pip in windows http://rajendralora.com/?p=183
Type this in Windows PowerShell or CMD:
"[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "$env:Path;C:\Python27", "User")"
After running the command, please restart PowerShell or CMD. If it still doesn't work, restart your PC.
there is a simple procedure to do it go to controlpanel->system and security ->system->advanced system settings->advanced->environment variables
then add new path enter this in your variable path and values
i'm using python 2.7 in win 8 too but no problem with that. maybe you need to reastart your computer like wclear said, or you can run python command line program that included in python installation folder, i think below IDLE program. hope it help.
GUI Option:
Open System Properties
a. Type it in the Start Menu
b. Use the keyboard shortcut Win+Pause)
c. From Windows Explorer address bar go to
%windir%\System32\SystemPropertiesProtection.exe
d. Write SystemPropertiesProtection in run window and press Enter
Switch to the Advanced tab
Click Environment Variables
Select PATH in the System variables section
Click Edit
Add python's path to the end of the list (the paths are separated by semicolons).
For example:
C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32;C:\Python27
Command Line Option:
Run Command Prompt as administrator
Check existing paths under PATH variable (the paths are separated by semicolons). If your python folder already listed then no need to add again. Default python folder is C:\Python27
C:\Windows\system32>path or C:\Windows\system32>echo %PATH%
Append python path using setx command. The /M option sets the variable at SYSTEM scope.
The default behavior is to set it for the USER.
C:\Windows\system32>setx /M PATH "%PATH%;C:\Python27"
I am on Mac OS X using codeblocks 10.05
I downloaded Valgrind, and extracted a folder. I am completely lost from there, and have no idea how to build it.
I do not know ANY terminal/console commands and am generally new to programming, so I have no idea how to "build" or "compile" it. I just have a folder called Valgrind with a bunch of random files in it.
Could someone please tell me how to proceed? I already checked the website/documentation but it didn't really give me installation instructions, just usage instructions.
Thanks
PS: I know I already posted this question, but the previous question was shut down, for being too vague. I reposted this one with more info.
PSS: All that I am basically asking is what do I do to install Valgrind right after I download it from the website and extract the files?
Recommended:
Use brew: brew install valgrind
Manual Install:
Here's what worked on my Mac (10.6). Double-check you have the latest version, then change into the uncompressed directory
cd /users/(insert username here)/downloads/valgrind-3.17.0
I suggest you do as another posted and read the readme.
nano README
Commence the build; /usr/local is the place on the filesystem that the program will be installed to. There are many arguments like prefix that are available to customize the installation to your particular system if it doesn't work by default. Normally just using ./configure works perfectly well though.
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
Or you could probably get it from fink or macports or homebrew.
You can install it through brew for Mac:
brew install valgrind
You might have to manually link the entry to /usr/local/bin as brew refused to do it in my case:
$ ln /usr/local/Cellar/valgrind/3.8.1/bin/vgdb /usr/local/bin/vgdb
ln: /usr/local/bin/vgdb: Permission denied
$ sudo ln /usr/local/Cellar/valgrind/3.8.1/bin/vgdb /usr/local/bin/vgdb
On MacOS High Sierra
If you have the following error message:
brew install valgrind
valgrind: This formula either does not compile or function as expected on macOS
versions newer than Sierra due to an upstream incompatibility.
Fix
(1) To correctly install it, first, type the following command at the Terminal (which opens Valgrind’s formulae)
brew edit valgrind
And change the URL in head section
https://sourceware.org/git/valgrind.git
to
git://sourceware.org/git/valgrind.git
(2) Do an update for Homebrew:
brew update
(3) Finally, use the following command to install Valgrind from the HEAD:
brew install --HEAD valgrind
Sources
https://www.gungorbudak.com/blog/2018/04/28/how-to-install-valgrind-on-macos-high-sierra/
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/18998
For macOS Big Sur / Monterey:
brew tap LouisBrunner/valgrind
brew install --HEAD LouisBrunner/valgrind/valgrind
The core process is pretty simple:
Make sure you are in the correct directory.
First run:
./configure
when that is finished, run:
make
at this point you will need to su into root (this is relatively tricky to do, see the note at the end). As root, run:
make install
When this is finished you will have a working valgrind installation. Test it by running
valgrind ls -l
To su into root, you will need to have set up a root account. If you have not done this in the past, see the instructions from apple here.
To perform the actual su, you will first have to be running an account with administrator privileges. If you are not already doing so, you can switch users with the following:
su admin
where admin is the name of an user with administrator privileges (you will need to enter the password for this account). From there, you can then run su to go into root:
su
You will need to enter the root password that you set up earlier.
You may find it easier to use something like macports. How to install that is probably beyond the scope of this question, but they have a page dedicated to it on their site.
Once you have macports installed, you need to type:
sudo port install valgrind +universal
As you say you don't have any experience of command lines, let's just briefly go through the different parts of this command:
sudo means the rest of the command will run as root, and will ask for your password. This is needed for the installer to have the correct permissions
port is the command line tool for managing macports
install is a command for port. Try port help to see a list of commands.
valgrind tells macports what it should be installing
+universal is a variant. This tells macports to configure valgrind to support 32 bit and 64 bit support.
I am trying to install Qt 4.6.2 on ubuntu. When I run the configure script I get the following error message "You don't seem to have 'make' or 'gmake' in your PATH. cannot proceed".
On echo of the PATH variable I get
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
on running the command
$which make , I get
/usr/bin/make
How do I proceed with this issue? I seem to have the make in the path env variable but still the config script throws cannot find make or gmake?
It not the problem of make or gmake, nor PATH, Just because you unzip the tarball without -a option. so, to solve this problem, just use 'unzip -a *.zip', it will be fine.
I recently encountered this error in a fedora32 docker container, because the which utility was not installed. I was compiling Qt 5.12.9.
dnf install which fixed the problem.
You should have been installed build-essentials but did not restart try either to restart or type:
export MAKE=/usr/bin/make
and make sure with echo $MAKE
I downloaded the source again. I am able to run configure without any problems. Seems like there was an issue with the earlier source.
you should install build essentials
sudo apt-get install build-essential
and typesudo apt make install
