The one click installer is fine. It is stripped down a bit, but  
everything is in standard locations in /usr/local/
This includes /usr/local/bin  and  /usr/local/lib/
Basically, it's very similar to the Hivelogic installation. You can  
either, install over it (use the Hivelogic tutorial, please) OR  
simply rm -rf the directories for what got installed.
It uses an OS X installer, so it should have an item in ~/Library/ 
Receipts/  OR in /Library/Receipts
launching that item will relaunch the installer. It will allow you to  
get a manifest of installation items and some installers have an  
uninstaller.
