Uninstall and install MPI

  • 772

As far as I know, I cannot reinstall MPI from the terminal.

For this reason, I want to know how I can repair MPI (uninstall and install MPI) using a security method in terminal?

Thanks in Advance.

  1. $ apt-cache search MPI | grep -w MPI will list (on MY system) 47 MPI related packages.

    $ apt-cache search MPI | grep -w MPI| awk '{print $1}' | xargs dpkg -l 2>/dev/null will show you which ones you have installed on your system.

    You can achieve "(uninstall and install mpi)" by feeding the package names to sudo apt install --reinstall.

    However, in the Ubuntu world, "uninstall and reinstall" never fixes the problem. Never.

    If you've messed up the configuration of a package, you can use dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure an already installed package. Read man dpkg-reconfigure.

    If it's some other problem, read https://askubuntu.com/help/how-to-ask
