At the very final screen of the installation wizard you will have an option to start the configuration wizard which will provide the information about the IDE, application server and application setup with JRebel. After the installation is complete, if you have selected to create the shortcuts in Start menu, a program group for JRebel will be created as follows:

1.2 Platform-neutral Installation

For platforms other that Windows (but also Windows itself) we have provided the platform-neutral installation packages. There are two options provided for the download, either JAR installer, of a ZIP archive. 1.2.1 JAR Installer If you select the JAR Installer option for download, you will be provided a ZIP Archive, containing a single jrebelsetup.jar file. To execute the installation process proceed as follows:
> unzip jrebel-3.1.2a-setup.zip > cd jrebel > java -jar jrebel-setup.jar

The last command in the snippet above will execute the graphical wizard window which is exactly the same application as in case of Windows platform setup. Proceed with the installation steps by pushing Next button. 1.2.2 ZIP Archive By selecting ZIP Archive download option you will be provided the archive with the JRebel install directory. Just unpack the archive to the location of your choice. After you have unpacked the archive, it would be wise to setup the environment variables to make use of it later as configure JRebel for you application server and your project.

1.4 Uninstallation
If you have installed JRebel using the installation wizard, either via Windows installation package or JAR installer, then JRebel installation will include %JREBEL_HOME%\bin\uninstaller.jar file. It can be used to uninstall JRebel from your computer by executing it as follows:
java -jar uninstaller.jar

The following dialog will appear:

Check the checkbox in order to forcefully delete the JRebel's installation directory and proceed by pushing Uninstall button.

The environment variables aren't deleted by the uninstaller, so you have to clean 'em up manually.

In case if you installed JRebel using ZIP archive, uninstaller.jar utility is not provided, so you can just delete the directory where you have unpacked it.
