Upgrade to new version of JasperServer

How in the world do I go about updating to the new version of JasperServer? Their site has no real documentation on how to accomplish this.

I have downloaded the JasperServer archive (Windows, btw), but what is next?

The reason for doing this is that the new version of iReport has some sort of file compatibly issue with it's own new jrxml file, and the current fix is updating JasperServer.

Solution
    1. Read the JasperServer install guide.
    2. Read about the js-export and js-import commands.

    In the past, I did the following:

    1. Use js-export to save a copy of the reports.
    2. Install a new database.
    3. Install the latest JasperServer version.
    4. Use js-import to load the previously exported reports.
