How do I cleanly rebuild and reinstall everything?
==================================================
-# TODO: include for binary installs
+1. Delete the caches from your :ref:`.matplotlib configuration directory
+<locating-matplotlib-config-dir>`.
-Unfortunately::
+The next steps depend on your platform and installation method.
- python setup.py clean
+Easy Install
+------------
-does not properly clean the build directory, and does nothing to the
-install directory. To cleanly rebuild:
+2. Run::
- * delete the ``build`` directory in the source tree
- * delete ``site-packages/matplotlib`` directory in the Python
- installation. The location of ``site-packages`` is
- platform-specific. You can find out where matplotlib is installed by
doing::
+ easy_install -m PackageName
- > python -c 'import matplotlib; print matplotlib.__file__'
+3. Delete any .egg files or directories from your `installation directory
+ <locating-matplotlib-install>`.
- and then making sure you remove the matplotlib directory (and
- any matplotlib*.egg files) you find there.
- * you may also want to clear some of the cache data that
- matplotlib stores in your ``.matplotlib`` directory. You can
- find the location of this directory by doing::
+Windows installer
+-----------------
- import matplotlib
- print matplotlib.get_configdir()
+2. Use :menuselection:`Start --> Control Panel` to start the :program:`Add and
+Remove Software` utility.
- A typical location for the config directory is :file:`.matplotlib`, and
the following
- caches may need to be cleared after a major update::
+Source install
+--------------
- rm -rf ~/.matplotlib/tex.cache
- rm -rf ~/.matplotlib/fontManager.cache
+Unfortunately::
+ python setup.py clean
+
+does not properly clean the build directory, and does nothing to the
+install directory. To cleanly rebuild:
+
+2. Delete the ``build`` directory in the source tree
+3. Delete any matplotlib directories or eggs from your `installation directory
+ <locating-matplotlib-install>`
