To have a prompt, use -r or remove, lowercased

am -r {PROGRAM}

This is possible thanks to the script called remove present in the directory of all installed apps, and which is the first file to be created during the installation process.

If an app is installed at the system level, in /opt, it will be necessary to use the root password to start the script.

How to update or remove apps manually

This section covers some cases where you can manage installed apps via "AM" but without "AM".

Manually removing a program

To remove an application without using "AM", simply run the remove script, use root privileges if the app is installed system-wide

sudo /opt/{PROGRAM}/remove

or run the script directly if the app is installed unprivileged

/path/to/unprivileged/directory/{PROGRAM}/remove

and just as there is a remove file, many (not all) installed programs have an AM-updater script, which is instead intended to update the installed app.

Manually Update

Since the owner of "AM" is the only one who has write permissions for apps installed in /opt, he/she can simply run the script like this

/opt/{PROGRAM}/AM-updater

other non-privileged users will have to use root privileges.

Non-privileged users can however use AppMan.
