Answer 1

It is so easy. In your directory in terminal write it;

mrt remove package_name

Answer 2

Sometimes meteorite can be a bit glitchy depending on the version you have. Usually mrt remove package_name should do it but doing all of these should remove it and not let it get back till you add it back.

1. Run

   mrt remove package_name

2. Check your smart.json to see if your package has been removed from the packages : {} section.

3. Delete the package/symlink if it still exists in /packages.

4. If you still get an error claiming the package is not found remove it from meteor too

   meteor remove package_name

Yup, I've found that meteorite can be a bit 'clingy' on packages it's downloaded. – Bangkok

Thanks for this comprehensive answer. I tried mrt remove <package> and while it said it removed it, the package was still in my smart.json, a file I didn't even know existed before reading your answer. – Azevedo

@JamesNisbet Keep in mind mrt has been deprecated now. We don't use smart.json/meteorite anymore. Meteor 0.9.x merged meteorite in, so you can just use meteor add xxx and meteor remove xxx on its own now. You CAN still use meteorite for private packages though. I wouldn't recommend it for the stuff on atmosphere though. – Hessenassau

Answer 3

You can use meteor remove package_name

For example: meteor remove kadira:flow-router

Meteor 0.9 release rendered Meteorite and the mrt command obsolete. All new projects should use meteor >> source
