CARGO-UNINSTALL(1)

NAME
cargo-uninstall - Remove a Rust binary

SYNOPSIS

cargo uninstall [OPTIONS] [SPEC...]

DESCRIPTION

This command removes a package installed with cargo-install(1). The SPEC argument is a package ID specification of the package to remove (see cargo-pkgid(1)).

The installation root is determined, in order of precedence:

    • --root option

    • CARGO_INSTALL_ROOT environment variable

    • install.root Cargo

    • CARGO_HOME environment variable

    • $HOME/.cargo
