Hello @Remigio,
The command "plesk installer" is available after Plek is installed.
The command may be used to update/upgrade Plesk or install/remove additional components.
Alternatively, the same actions may be done via GUI at Tools & Settings > Updates and Upgrades.
Plesk may be uninstalled using this instruction:
