Hi, i have unistall local following this guide:

> **[How do I uninstall Local on macOS?](https://community.localwp.com/t/how-do-i-uninstall-local-on-macos/501)**
>
> Take a look at the Flywheel Help doc on this: https://localwp.com/help-docs/how-do-i-uninstall-local-by-flywheel-on-macos/

Now i’m not able to reinstall local, seems that when i try to reinstall the virtual machine isn’t installed.

I manually installed the VM, but i haven’t the image what i have to do?
