I was trying to install RStudio-v2022.07.1-554 (server) under Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (arm64). Because there doesn't exist a binary for arm64, I have to build the RStudio from the source. After download the source (tag 2022.07.1-554), and installed all dependencies. I was able to install the binary.
However, after make install, I found out that the default CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX was set to /usr/local, not as the INSTALL file claimed: /usr/local/lib/rstudio-server! Now, all the 1560 library and binary files of RStudio-server are spread over under the folder /usr/local(Thank you RStudio team!):
/usr/local/./README.md
/usr/local/./INSTALL
/usr/local/./COPYING
/usr/local/./NOTICE
/usr/local/./SOURCE
/usr/local/./VERSION
...
When I try to make uninstall, I found out the makefile doesn't define any uninstall action. Fortunately, there is an install_manifest.txt file which listed all the files installed under usr/local. What I could think of to "uninstall" RStudio is to use shell script to loop through the files list and remove them one by one.
Is there any better way to uninstall the RStudio-server compiled from source other than manually delete the files one by one.
Thank you for your attention and reply in advance.
