How to uninstall a package with dnu?

I can install packages into a dnx project with dnu install whatever, but I haven't been able to figure out how to uninstall a package.

I tried just deleting the line from the project.json file and doing a dnu restore, but it appears to not have done the trick. (Some code that should have started failing continued to build correctly.) I also tried dnu commands uninstall, but that appears to be for global commands rather than packages.

I'm using dnu version 1.0.0-rc1-16231.

Solution

  • Go to your project.json file and remove the entry from there. Then run dnu restore to regenerate the project.lock.json file.

    If you want to remove the package from disk too, delete it from %userprofile%\.dnx\packages
