    Note that you can also install without sudo, and it will install by default in a folder inside your home directory. Also, when you're ready to uninstall, navigate to its install dir (for me, ~/google-earth), and type
    ./uninstall

    If you installed with sudo, you will also need sudo to uninstall.
