"Nothing to install." after trying to install IDE

I had a problem with the IDE and deleted it by manually searching all the files on my ubuntu 20.04.

Now when I try to run the binary again, it says "Nothing to install.", however I have deleted all stm files from my machine.

What can I do?

Hi,

Looks like STM32CubeIDE is still part of the native package manager database.

To check this assumption you can use the dpkg command:

dpkg -l '*stm32cubeide*'

And then remove correctly the package using :

sudo dpkg -r st-stm32cubeide-1.x.x

Replace the version token 1.x.x by the one reported in first dpkg query.

To ST employee,

I was struggling with this issue for a while. I had to open the (heavy) script to understand why it does not install. Please make sure to at least issue a warning when the script detects that the package was already installed/available in system and ask user to uninstall (via dpkg). A basic warning should do, and this is fundamental.
