View Full Version : [ubuntu] How to uninstall NCH Express Scribe (scribe.tar.gz)

Express Scribe is great software and it works great on the other two computers I have in my house. But on the third (any newest) computer, it is not working. So I'd like to try uninstalling and reinstalling it. Can someone tell me the uninstall command for a program like this?

It downloaded as scribe.tar.gz, then upon unarchiving it with Archive Manager, it yielded the file scribe.sh, which is a shell script. Upon running the shell script via terminal window, the program installs without a hitch.

If anyone wants to see their website with program and download info:

I would check the readme and see if they have an uninstall switch for their script ex:

$run scribe.sh --uninstall

Here is the output for that code:

swarup@swarup-laptop:~$ run scribe.sh --uninstall
bash: run: command not found

The program did not come with a readme file, unfortunately. Any further thoughts?

In the folder /opt/nch/scribe/bin there's a script called uninstall.sh. Run that using the command:

sudo ./uninstall.sh
