Apologies if this is not the right place to ask about this, I couldn't find a solution so far elsewhere.
I am trying to uninstall supercollider in order to reinstall it as I have had some issues and for some reason could only run scide with sudo, otherwise I would get a single error for the "try-extra-synths" synthdef. On top of this It doesn't work If Jack is running before I launch scide.
I was ok with this (as I would just run it with sudo despite this being bad practice..) until I wanted to use simple screen recorder to record a performance and ran into all sorts of issues with Jack.
So I want to uninstall/reinstall and retrace my steps to try figure it out as I'm pretty sure Ive screwed up somewhere along the line. Basically need a clean slate so I can get Jack and SC working properly.
When I tried "sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove supercollider" it was unable to locate supercollider. I realized that I only have the directories relating to 'build-supercollider' but cant figure out how to simply uninstall it. (I have installed and uninstalled supercollider previously but built it from source).
Only been using Linux for a few months and this is the first time Ive installed something with a script rather than building myself so maybe this is the most obvious issue ever and I just cant see it!
Thanks in advance! ( sorry if a bit of a rambling post )
When running whereis; scide sclang and scsynth are all in usr/local/bin so maybe this is where the permissions weirdness is coming from ? Either way I mainly want to just clean the slate and start anew. Could I just delete all SC related folders and files in order to reinstall? something tells me that wont work properly.
