No uninstall instructions for Mac OS X

[djbclark]

I've searched quite a bit, unable to find uninstall instructions for Mac OS X.

I'm assuming they are simular to soundflower, which ships with the below applescript (.scpt) file, but it'd still be nice for this to be doc'ed for Jack2.

on run

    do shell script "sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext" with administrator privileges
    do shell script "sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/Soundflower*" with administrator privileges
    do shell script "sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/com.cycling74.soundflower.*" with administrator privileges
    do shell script "sudo rm -rf /Applications/Soundflower" with administrator privileges
    "Done!"

end run

Okay, scratch that: the documentation is in one place: The Applications/Jack folder. Would still be nice for this to be mentioned somewhere on the website, since Mac OS X has a dearth of standards here. (And to make myself look a little less dense here, soundflower ships with the uninstall script in the same place the install script is, e.g. the .dmg file.)

Bumping from the dead 💀

I encountered the same issue on macOS 10.15.7 Here's what I found...

The file /usr/local/share/jack2/jack2-osx-files.txt (attached) contains file paths of all installed files. Some were missing. Instead of 78 files, I found 71. I just went through and manually removed them.

Worked for me.

Hi There. Bumping again. OS X 14.1.1 running on apple silicon m1

I ran the jack2-osx-1.9.22.pkg file to presumably install jack2, however I don't see a Jack app or folder in the /Applications folder; and /usr/local/share/jack2 doesn't exist

Any Ideas?

Jack is a command line tool only, hence nothing will be placed in /Applications/.

The main utility should be available as jackd in the terminal if it was installed in a location available to path. Mine is placed in /usr/local/bin/, but this may depend on the installation method and Intel vs. Apple silicon.

You may want to use a graphical interface to admin jack, the most popular being qjackctl. Different ways of installation are also available here. On Mac, I usually use homebrew for convenience (if you choose to install qjackctl via homebrew, it will probably also deliver its version of jack).

Got it - thanks. I put 2 & 2 together with patrick's text file. I think it was djbclark's comment that threw me off the trail re: /Applications
