 Installing
 ==========
 
-This version comes with an installer for Windows. So just download it, start it and follow the instructions. The installer is only available for windows at the moment. For other architectures (Linux, OSX) you will need to compile the sources. See the section [Compiling from sources](#compiling-from-sources).

-Uninstalling
-============
-
-In the installing directory you will find an executable to uninstall JuPedSim completely (including registry files) if you have used the installer on windows. Otherwise you just need to delete the directory in which you have put the JuPedSim files.

If you have used the installer on windows you can open a command shell and type the name of the application you want to invoke. The invokation from the command shell works from any directory since the installer has added the installation directory of JuPedSim to the system path.
