Hi,
In a normal installation of Dataiku DSS on Mac OS X, two folders would be used:
- /Applications/DataScienceStudio.app : it is the Data Science Studio application
- ~/Library/DataScienceStudio : it is where DSS installs your settings, managed datasets, logs... (read more about the DATADIR)
Here is the clean uninstall process step-by-step:
- Make sure that DSS is stopped
- Open Finder, open the Applications folder.
- Find DataScienceStudio and delete it.
- Open Finder again, option-click the Go menu, hold down the Option key (alt key), click on Library.
- Find DataScienceStudio and delete it.
To reinstall DSS from scratch, you can now download the DMG file on www.dataiku.com

FYI: on MacOS Sierra this is now SHIFT instead of Options/ALT.

Hi,
I followed the instructions here, including deleting both the application (/Applications/DataScienceStudio.app) and the settings (~/Library/DataScienceStudio), then restarted. When I click on the app, I am able to download, extract, but get stuck on "installing."
The logs show:

Updating this on the fix. Tried deleting both files again and restarting. That fixed the issue. I think there were some stray leftover config messing things up
