Uninstalling¶

Uninstalling OpenGeo Suite is usually the recommended first step before updating to a new major version or upgrading to OpenGeo Suite Enterprise.

The following procedure will uninstall OpenGeo Suite. In all cases, the data directory at /var/lib/opengeo/geoserver will not be removed.

1. Determine which package you installed, one of opengeo, opengeo-server, or opengeo-client. These “meta-packages” install other packages, so just uninstalling these won’t remove OpenGeo Suite.

   apt-get search opengeo
   

2. Uninstall the packages installed as dependencies:

   • For opengeo-server:

     apt-get remove opengeo-tomcat6 opengeo-tomcat7 postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1 geoserver geowebcache geoexplorer opengeo-dashboard opengeo-docs opengeo-server
     

   • For opengeo-client:

     apt-get remove postgis-2.1 pgadmin3 opengeo-client
     

   • For opengeo:

     apt-get remove opengeo-tomcat6 opengeo-tomcat7 postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1 geoserver geowebcache geoexplorer opengeo-dashboard opengeo-docs postgis-2.1 pgadmin3 opengeo
     

   Note

   If you encounter any errors during the uninstall process, you may need to manually uninstall tomcat 6:

   apt-get remove tomcat6
