Trying to uninstall all pip
and pip3
packages on my Mac, but am running into the following errors that are largely tied to OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system:
and [Errno 1] Operation not permitted:
. I have already tried:
- using
csrutil disable
and running the uninstall commands whilecsrutil
is disabled - trying
sudo -H
for the uninstalls whilecsrutil
is disabled
These are the errors:
First: SIP status as well as pip
and pip3
info
$ csrutil status
System Integrity Protection status: disabled.
$ pip list
zsh: command not found: pip
$ python -m pip list
