 When the installation process is finished, you can run the Greenstone Server or the Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI).
+==== Uninstallation ====
+On Windows, the uninstaller is accessible from the Start menu.
+For most people under Linux systems, a Greenstone installation can be removed with the usual //rm// command. However, by using this method, any collections you've created will also be deleted. If you're on Linux or Mac and wish to uninstall Greenstone, the recommended way to do so is by using the Uninstaller, as this will give you the option to retain your collections. To launch the Uninstaller, you can either run "bash uninstall.sh" from the //uninstall// folder, or will first need to give execute permissions to the uninstall/Uninstall.sh file in your Greenstone installation before you can run it:
+<code>cd uninstall
+chmod u+rx Uninstall.sh
+./Uninstall.sh</code>
