Re: [Jgeneral] System installation
Looking more at the code in install_console in the locale 'jpacman' I've been able to selectively use *'install'jpkg y* making y into a list of boxes containing certain addons and the 'base library' and 'BASELIBRARY' *but* I cannot see a way to install the executable `*bin/jqt*` . I really need the executable to be installed. -- (B=) -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
Re: [Jgeneral] System installation
Looking at the jpacman locale I learned that a key argument for 'remove'jpkg is 'all' . Having tried that option, all of the addons were uninstalled. That appears to be all because the folder J902 and J902-user are intact. So it appears that an uninstall means deleting those 2 folders and the desktop aliases. -- (B=) -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
Re: [Jgeneral] System installation
I don't seem to be able to use the 'remove' option. See example below.

Re: [Jgeneral] System installation
Ah, yes. Now I see it: 'remove' for uninstall. Thanks, -- (B=) -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
Re: [Jgeneral] System installation
Brian,
It looks like you can do an uninstall and even a reinstall. I found the
documentation under Pacman https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Pacman and it had
been moved from JAL in 2019.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, bob

Re: [Jgeneral] System installation
Bob and Thomas,
Thank you for the feedback.
I have been working under the assumption that after I get the message
from jpkg that qt binaries have been downloaded, that there is no
longer any downloading going on during the 30 min wait.
But perhaps that is a mistake and with my download speed
that could be the issue.
I have experimented unsuccessfully to use the Mac utility app
Activity Monitor to see if I can detect a download, but so far
I have not been able to detect a download happening. So
I cannot verify whether that is slowing down the jpkg .
I also have not found a way to uninstall J so that I can try again.
I am assuming that it is not enough to erase the j902 folder, but
I want to be told I am wrong.
Another question I have: can the righthand argument of jpkg be
an empty ('') to get all the stuff except the addons. I would
rather avoid getting addons in jconsole, in favor of getting them
from the pacman script. The 'help' for jkpg is very sparse.
