Question

why is there no information to delete uv-receipt.json at https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/#uninstallation

Platform

Linux Mint 22.1

Version

uv 0.6.12

I don't think it's necessary, but @Gankra would know.

It's not included because it's managed by another tool (cargo-dist) and we don't control where it's put. We could recommend deleting it though. In the future, we will have more control over this file.

[Gankra]

We can definitely teach uv how to uninstall in the future, with our current plans.

and How do I add env path new without install uv and uv-receipt.json?

Can you say more? I'm not sure what you mean.

[candrapersada]

I want to create a new path environment variable with the help of the install.sh script like $HOME/bin2 and $HOME/bin3 easily
