MacOS – How to remove something I have downloaded via curl

installmacos

I have followed this article: link and ran the following command:

curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 5.6

How do I remove this, since I upgraded to Sierra and I already have php 5.6 version? If you include what happened when I executed this command, I'd be more than happy!

Edit for clarification:

  1. I googled how to update php that comes with osx.
  2. I opened this link I put above. And ran the command I mentioned.
  3. And it told me it created a folder /usr/local/php5-5.6.27-20161101-100213 and 'symlink'(?).
  4. I updated to Sierra and the default php (that I was trying to "update") is now version 5.6.

I want to remove the php I installed from this article. I thought of deleting the folder I mentioned above, but I'm not sure that would do the thing. What about that symlink it made during the "installation"?

I wrote a shell script, crater (determine the impact crater of an install on a Unix filesystem) to deal with such poorly documented installation process:
