Removing the Previous Version of McIDAS-X

After McIDAS-X 2022 is installed, tested (if you decide to test it), and working properly, you can remove the previous version of McIDAS-X. Run each command from the ~mcidas directory.

1. Log on to the workstation as mcidas.

2. Remove the mcidas version# directory tree and its contents, replacing version# with the previous version number.
   Type: cd $MCHOME
   Type: rm -rf mcidas<version#>

   Example: If the previous version installed on your workstation was 2019, you would:

   Type: cd $MCHOME
   Type: rm -rf mcidas2019

3. Finish by deleting the McIDAS-X distribution and and xinetd configuration files:
   Type: cd $MCHOME
   Type: rm mcidasx<version#>.tar.gz
   Type: rm mcinet<version#>.sh

   Example: If the previous version installed on your workstation was 2019, you would:

   Type: cd $McINST_ROOT
   Type: rm mcidasx2019.tar.gz
   Type: rm mcinet2019.sh
