hi, I previously had issues installing meltano 1.05 due to some problems related to psycopg2, so I installed the source code. Now, I’d like to try getting and managing meltano 2.0 with the package manager instead. Before doing so, what’s the best way to uninstall meltano source? (note: meltano’s no longer running after pulling the 2.0 code). Do I need to upgrade/or install the source again in order to properly uninstall it?

What operating system are you trying to install meltano on?

Did you install Meltano into a Python virtual environment? If so the best course of action would probably be to create a new virtual environment for the new installation.

macos 10.13.16
@ Will, when I run which meltano, it shows:
/Users/katecowie/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/meltano-MDje0T_j-py3.9/bin/meltano

macos 10.13.16
I'm not familiar with Python for macos. Looking through pypi.org it should be possible to install meltano on macos without issues. meltano 2.1 uses psycopg2-binary version 2.8.5, according to pypi.org there is indeed a binary wheel for
psycopg2-binary 2.8.5
available for mac os 10 (but only for Intel mac OS, not for ARM, so if you use Apple M1, psycopg2-binary will not install from a wheel)

just removed old version source and was able to successfully get 2.1 on mac 😄 no issues now
