I am unable to uninstall truffle using this command

npm uninstall -g truffle

Current ver is 4.1.5 , I want to uninstall and reinstall v4.1.4 as code seems to be breaking while compiling and v4.1.4 may help as per the suggestions in this forum. While running the above it says "up to date in 0.141s (sec keep changing)".

System is ubuntu 16.04 (32-bit)

Thank you

  • If you execute npm ls -g --depth 0 does truffle appears in that list? Check if your users have permissions to modify npm directory npm get prefix.

  • If truffle didn't appear in npm ls -g then it is not installed. Why do you believe it still is installed?

  • Try running where truffle to determine where it is installed.

For other people's convenience who has similar problem:

  1. Look for where the truffle exists:
$ whereis truffle

if you use zsh, try this:

$ where truffle
  1. Locate to the directory, and delete it.

  2. Re-install with npm

try

npm install [email protected] -g

I think this should work even without removing the current version you have
