# Migrating from npm global tool to binary installation
If you previously installed safe-chain as an npm global package, you need to migrate to the binary installation.
Depending on the version manager you're using, the uninstall process differs:
### Standard npm (no version manager)
1. **Clean up shell aliases:**
```bash
safe-chain teardown
```
2. **Restart your terminal**
3. **Uninstall the npm package:**
```bash
npm uninstall -g @aikidosec/safe-chain
```
4. **Install the binary version** (see [Installation](https://github.com/AikidoSec/safe-chain/blob/main/README.md#installation))
### nvm (Node Version Manager)
**Important:** nvm installs global packages separately for each Node version, so safe-chain must be uninstalled from each version where it was installed.
1. **Clean up shell aliases:**
```bash
safe-chain teardown
```
2. **Restart your terminal**
3. **Uninstall from all Node versions:**
**Option A** - Automated script (recommended):
```bash
for version in $(nvm list | grep -oE 'v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+'); do nvm use $version && npm uninstall -g @aikidosec/safe-chain; done
```
**Option B** - Manual per version:
```bash
nvm use <version>
npm uninstall -g @aikidosec/safe-chain
```
Repeat for each Node version where safe-chain was installed.
4. **Install the binary version** (see [Installation](https://github.com/AikidoSec/safe-chain/blob/main/README.md#installation))
### Volta
1. **Clean up shell aliases:**
```bash
safe-chain teardown
```
2. **Restart your terminal**
3. **Uninstall the Volta package:**
```bash
volta uninstall @aikidosec/safe-chain
```
4. **Install the binary version** (see [Installation](https://github.com/AikidoSec/safe-chain/blob/main/README.md#installation))
## Troubleshooting
### Shell aliases still present after migration
1. Run `safe-chain teardown` (if the binary is installed)
2. Manually remove any safe-chain entries from your shell config files:
- Bash: `~/.bashrc`
- Zsh: `~/.zshrc`
- Fish: `~/.config/fish/config.fish`
- PowerShell: `$PROFILE`
3. Restart your terminal
4. Re-run the install script
### "command not found: safe-chain" after migration
The binary installation directory (`~/.safe-chain/bin`) may not be in your PATH. Restart your terminal. If the problem persists: re-run the installation of safe-chain.
