Cleanly remove the PraisonAI CLI — praisonai uninstall deletes the managed environment and global shim that the one-line installer created. 
praisonai uninstall
This is CLI self-management only. The core praisonaiagents SDK is not removed by this command.

​
Quick Start

1

Interactive uninstall

Prompts for confirmation, then removes the managed install:
praisonai uninstall

Remove PraisonAI 1.3.0 (installed via uv)? [y/N]
2

Non-interactive (CI)

Skip the prompt with --yes (or -y):
praisonai uninstall --yes

​
What It Removes

RemovedNot touched
The managed environment (uv tool / pipx venv)Your ~/.praison/ config and state
The global praisonai shim on your PATHAny provider API keys you configured
The command detects how the CLI was installed and runs the matching removal command:
Install typeUninstall command run
uv-manageduv tool uninstall praisonai
pipx-managedpipx uninstall praisonai
plain pippip uninstall -y praisonai
If the install type can’t be self-managed, the command prints a clear manual fallback (for example pip uninstall praisonai) and exits non-zero rather than deleting anything unexpectedly.

​
Flags

FlagDescription
--yes, -ySkip the confirmation prompt (non-interactive / CI).
--jsonGlobal flag — emit machine-readable output ({"manager": ..., "removed": ...}).
praisonai uninstall --yes

PraisonAI 1.3.0 removed.

​
Best Practices

Non-interactive shells have no TTY for the confirmation prompt. Pass --yes (or --json) to run cleanly in automation.
praisonai uninstall leaves ~/.praison/ in place, so a later reinstall keeps your settings and cache. Remove that directory manually only if you want a fully clean slate.
