Uninstalling Mono Framework.

Hello.

I installed Mono's Framework a while ago and now I'd like to uninstall it, but I have no idea how. I've been struggling for a while but I can't seem to get it. I already took the script in their webpage and tried it on terminal.

#!/bin/sh -x

#This script removes Mono from an OS X System. It must be run as root

rm -r /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework

rm -r /Library/Receipts/MonoFramework-*

for dir in /usr/bin /usr/share/man/man1 /usr/share/man/man3 /usr/share/man/man5; do

(cd ${dir};

for i in `ls -al | grep /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/ | awk '{print $9}'`; do

rm ${i}

done);

done

After I did this, I get this.

Armandos-MacBook-Pro:~ Armando$ #!/bin/sh -x

Armandos-MacBook-Pro:~ Armando$

Armandos-MacBook-Pro:~ Armando$ #This script removes Mono from an OS X System. It must be run as root

Armandos-MacBook-Pro:~ Armando$

for i in `ls -al | grep /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/ | awk '{print $9}'`; do

rm ${i}

done);

I've also created a .sh with the script. I named it uninstallmono.sh and saved it to my desktop.

When I go to terminal and try to do:

sudo ./uninstallmono.sh

I get:

Armandos-MacBook-Pro:~ Armando$ sudo ./uninstallmono.sh

Password:

sudo: ./uninstallmono.sh: command not found

Armandos-MacBook-Pro:~ Armando$

I have a password and when I type it in nothing happens. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that way or not but the cursor on terminal wont move.

Anyways, I need help, having it installed is really bothering me. :s

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3), Mono Framework.

n_i_k_k_o instructions worked!! Here is pretty much the same instruction with a few clarifications.

I Have OS X 10.8.4 on macbook pro.

1. Open up Terminal (Select "Launchpad">"Other">"Terminal")

2. enter: sudo /bin/sh -x

3. Prompt will ask for admin password. Type in your admin password (*Note: when entering password you will notice that the cursor will not be moving and no characters displaying[in my particular case]. It is okay. I am new to mac and it took me hours to notice that the characters will not show and the cursor will not move when entering admin password.)

4. Copy and Paste this script next:

rm -r /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework

rm -r /Library/Receipts/MonoFramework-*

for dir in /usr/bin /usr/share/man/man1 /usr/share/man/man3 /usr/share/man/man5; do

(cd ${dir};

for i in `ls -al | grep /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/ | awk '{print $9}'`; do

rm ${i}

done);

done

5. A bunch of script will appear

6. Verify by going to the apple symbol on the top left corner and select "about this mac" then select "more info" then select "system report". On the left hand side under the section Software select "framework". move to the right section and look for "mono" if present. If "mono" is not present then you have successfullly uninstalled mono.

hope this helps with newbie mac users like myself.

I just deleted the mono.frameworks.

In terminal without "":

1. "sudo /bin/sh -x"

2. then on the next line paste the script text:

"

rm -r /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework

rm -r /Library/Receipts/MonoFramework-*

for dir in /usr/bin /usr/share/man/man1 /usr/share/man/man3 /usr/share/man/man5; do

(cd ${dir};

for i in `ls -al | grep /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/ | awk '{print $9}'`; do

rm ${i}

done);

done

"

that's all

This worked, thank you! I didn't know what I was getting into when I installed Mono. It took me too long to figure out how to uninstall. Thank you very much for the clear instructions, for someone without a programming degree.
