A clean install is a manual procedure that removes the viewer, all cache, configuration files and replaces it with a completely fresh install. If you are doing this as part of a viewer update, then we recommend you follow ALL of the steps in order.
If you are not installing a newer version of Catznip then you should read our Troubleshooting Guide first.
Do NOT attempt to follow these instructions while the viewer is running
Note : Distribution independent. Please read the instructions carefully.
Remove settings
Open a new terminal, enter the catznip folder and get a list of it's contents.
cd cd .catznip ls
- Remove the browser_profile and user_settings folder.
rm ./browser_profile -rv rm ./user_settings -rv
- If you wish to delete all chat logs as well as removing the settings, delete each of the account name folders.
rm ./trinity_dejavu -rv .... and so on
- If you do not wish to delete all chat logs. Recursively delete all the .xml files and browser profiles.
find . -name *.xml -exec rm -v {} \; find . -name browser_profile -exec rm -rv {} \;
Manually Clear the Cache
Open a new terminal, enter the catznip folder and get a list of it's contents.
cd cd .catznip ls
- Remove the cache folder.
rm .cache -rv
Remove and Reinstall
- Delete the folder you extracted Catznip into.
- Download the Latest Release and install as normal.
