Laravel – How to uninstall Laravel

Composer 1.x and 2.x

Running the following command will remove the package from vendor (or wherever you install packages), composer.json and composer.lock. Change vendor/package appropriately.

composer remove vendor/package

Obviously you'll need to remove references to that package within your app.

I'm currently running the following version of Composer:

Composer version 1.0-dev (7b13507dd4d3b93578af7d83fbf8be0ca686f4b5) 2014-12-11 21:52:29

Documentation

https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#remove-rm

Updates

• 27/12/2023 - Fixed URL to remove-rm documentation
• 26/10/2020 - Updated answer to assert command works for v1.x and v2.x of Composer

I guess I find the solution after a little bit playing around.

It seems Valet uninstall command does not work as expected. To uninstall it first run the composer command to uninstall the php dependencies:

$ composer global remove laravel/valet

then to uninstall the dependencies installed with the Homebrew, first run;

$ brew list

just so you know we are in the same page then if you see dnsmasq and php70 in case you do not want them or you have php7 installed in another approach (like me) run:

$ brew uninstall dnsmasq

and

$ brew uninstall php70

Then go to your user directory and delete the .valet hidden directory or run the terminal command like so:

$ sudo rm -r ~/.valet
