Uninstall

Stop any running Node Mantis tasks before uninstalling. Use the command for the installation you want to remove; a project install, global CLI, and interpreter environment are separate installations.

Remove the package

# npm CLI installed globally
npm uninstall -g node-mantis

# TypeScript SDK installed in a project: run from that project
npm uninstall node-mantis

# Python: use the same interpreter or virtual environment used to install
python -m pip uninstall node-mantis

# Isolated Python installation made with pipx
pipx uninstall node-mantis

# Homebrew installation
brew uninstall nodemantis

If you used only npx, there is no global installation to uninstall. npm may retain a cached download; running the same npx command again can download or run the package again. Package removal does not clear package-manager caches or uninstall Google Chrome. Dependencies installed separately or through extras may also remain.

If nodemantis still runs, check for another installation: use command -v nodemantis on macOS/Linux or Get-Command nodemantis -All in PowerShell. Also check the npm alias node-mantis. Remove each installation with its own package manager and environment.

Optional: remove saved credentials and local data

Uninstalling the package leaves your saved configuration in place. The SDK and CLI installations share the configuration file; delete it only if you want to remove saved credentials for all installations using it. If you set NODEMANTIS_CONFIG_FILE, use that custom path instead. Review the file location before deleting it.

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/nodemantis/config.json
  • Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nodemantis/config.json, or ~/.config/nodemantis/config.json when XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset.
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\nodemantis\config.json.

Remove any Node Mantis credentials you saved in project .env files, shell startup files, environment variables, or your secret manager. Deleting a local copy does not revoke the key: revoke unused keys in the dashboard.

Screenshots, downloads, logs, and other output files you chose to save are separate from the package. Remove only the files and browser profiles you created for Node Mantis and no longer need, after their processes have stopped. Keep your normal Chrome profile and any data used by other applications.

Your online account

Uninstalling the client does not delete your Node Mantis account or hosted account data. For account-data deletion requests, see the Privacy Policy.
