## To uninstall NordLayer

```
sudo yum remove nordlayer
```
```
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/nordlayer
```

## To start the whole installation anew
1. [Download the NordLayer repository package](https://downloads.nordlayer.com/linux/latest/nordlayer-latest-1.0.0-noarch.rpm). In Terminal, go to the directory where you have downloaded the package and run this command:

```
sudo yum install ./nordlayer-latest-1.0.0-noarch.rpm
```

2. Update your package lists:

```
sudo yum makecache
```

3. Install the application from your package manager:

```
sudo yum install nordlayer
```

4. Add your user to the application group (the application runs on its own system user and group, so only members of the group have permission to use it)

```
sudo usermod -a -G nordlayer $(whoami)
```

**Note**: that this change will only take effect at the next login, so log in again or reboot.

5. Once that is done, please try logging in by using a command 'sudo nordlayer login'

**Note**: In case you have any questions or are experiencing any issues, please feel free to contact our [24/7 customer support team](/docs/how-do-i-contact-nordlayer-customer-support).
