🟢 1. Installing Xtreme Download Manager (XDM)

 1. Download XDM

First, go to the XDM official website or use the command below to download the latest XDM installation package. You can also download it via wget (make sure to replace the version number with the latest one):

wget https://github.com/subhra74/xdm/releases/download/7.2.11/xdm-setup-7.2.11.tar.xz

2. Extract the Installation Package

Extract the downloaded file:

tar -xvf xdm-setup-*.tar.xz 

3. Run the Installation Script

Navigate to the extracted folder and run the installation script:

cd xdm-setup  # If you are not in the directory already
sudo bash install.sh
After installation, XDM will be installed under the /opt/xdman/ directory and a desktop shortcut will be created.

4. Launch XDM

Once installed, you can find Xtreme Download Manager (XDM) in the Applications menu. You can also launch it via terminal:

xdman

5. (Optional) Set Up Browser Extensions

XDM supports browser extensions to accelerate downloads. You can install the Chrome or Firefox extensions and configure them as per the instructions in the readme.txt file.

🔴 2. Uninstalling Xtreme Download Manager (XDM)

1. Uninstall XDM

First, run the uninstallation script:

sudo /opt/xdman/uninstall.sh
If the uninstallation script is missing, manually delete the XDM related files:

# Delete XDM program files
sudo rm -rf /opt/xdman

# Remove the desktop shortcut
sudo rm -f /usr/share/applications/xdman.desktop

# Remove the executable file
sudo rm -f /usr/bin/xdman

2. Clean Up Dependencies and Unused Packages

After uninstalling, there may still be unused dependencies on your system. To remove them, run:

# Automatically remove unnecessary packages
sudo apt autoremove --purge -y

# Clean package cache
sudo apt clean

3. Delete Installation Files and Documents (Optional)

If you no longer need the installation packages and readme.txt file, you can remove them manually:

rm -f install.sh
rm -f readme.txt

🧹 Completely Clean Up

To ensure all XDM-related files are removed, run the following commands:

# Delete remaining cache and configuration files
rm -rf ~/.cache/xdm
rm -rf ~/.config/xdm
rm -rf ~/.local/share/xdm

These directories store XDM's cache and configuration files. If you don't need them, deleting these will free up additional space.
