Uninstall
Remove the software
Open a terminal.
Type this and press Enter:
permanet-rns --uninstall
It stops Reticulum, MeshChatX and the installer’s i2pd, then removes everything the installer added: the
software, the commands in ~/.local/bin, the background services, the app menu entry and i2pd’s data.
What stays
These folders stay, because they hold your identity and messages:
| Folder | What is in it |
|---|---|
~/.reticulum | Your Reticulum identity and settings |
~/.meshchat | Your MeshChatX identity |
~/.meshchatx | Your MeshChatX messages and settings |
~/.nomadnetwork | Your NomadNet identity, if you used NomadNet |
If you install again later, you keep the same identity and your old messages.
To delete them for good, which also deletes your identity and cannot be undone:
rm -rf ~/.reticulum ~/.meshchat ~/.meshchatx ~/.nomadnetworkThe i2pd program
If the installer installed i2pd for you, the i2pd program stays on your computer. Remove it with your system’s software tool, or with one of these:
| System | Command |
|---|---|
| Debian, Ubuntu | sudo apt remove i2pd |
| Fedora | sudo dnf remove i2pd |
| Arch | sudo pacman -R i2pd |
On Fedora the installer also added a repository so i2pd keeps getting updates. To remove it as well:
sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/permanet-rns-i2pd.repo
