gridMathematica Server when installed on a compute node consists of Mathematica without its documentation, a Tomcat server and a new user account that runs the Tomcat server. These can be removed if they’re no longer necessary on a compute node or machine.

Windows

To uninstall gridMathematica Server, first stop the Wolfram Lightweight Grid Manager service:

1. Start the Services application.
2. Locate the Wolfram Lightweight Grid Manager service toward the top of the list.
3. Right-click it and select Stop to stop the service.

gridMathematica Server can then be uninstalled similarly to other programs on Windows in Windows 11.

After uninstalling gridMathematica Server this way, the Tomcat server and user account will still remain. To ensure that gridMathematica Server is completely uninstalled on your computer, remove:

• Folder: C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\gridMathematica Server
• The user account associated with gridMathematica Server, typically “wolframgrid”

macOS

To uninstall gridMathematica Server, first stop the Wolfram Lightweight Grid Manager service:

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.wolfram.lightweightGridManager.plist

Then remove:

• Service entry: /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.wolfram.lightweightGridManager.plist
• Folder: /Applications/gridMathematicaServer.app/
• The user account associated with gridMathematica Server, typically “wolframgrid”

Linux

gridMathematica version 14.1.0

To uninstall gridMathematica Server, run the uninstall-lwg-support.sh script and then delete the installation directory. The script can be found in your $InstallationDirectory. By default, <installation directory> is “/usr/local/Wolfram/gridMathematicaServer/14.1”.

1. Navigate to the directory that contains the uninstall script:

   cd <installation directory>
   cd SystemFiles/RemoteServices/SystemFiles/Unix
   

2. Pass -u option to delete the user account associated with gridMathematica Server. By default, <username> is “wolframgrid”:

   sudo ./uninstall-lwg-support.sh -u <username>
   

3. Delete the installation directory:

   sudo rm -r /usr/local/Wolfram/gridMathematicaServer/14.1
