install and uninstall

make install or make install-all works in most of the directories to install a given tool and set of tools. It records what files are installed into system directories in uninstall.sh file in the cwd, so you may run sh uninstall.sh to remove installed files. It's loosely maintained, so there may be duplicated remove file.xyz commands in it, but there are all installed files occurring in it at least once. It does not remove directories recursively, so the user decides what to do with directories installed by make install and having files in it which are not installed by make. You may also run uninstall.sh several times if remove xyz-directory-like lines are before remove xyz-directory/file.xyz.
