Installation
============

Setuptools
----------

To install Products.Quills into the global Python environment (or a workingenv),
using a traditional Zope 2 instance, you can do this:

* When you're reading this you have probably already run 
  ``easy_install Products.Quills``. Find out how to install setuptools
  (and EasyInstall) here:
  http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall

* If you are using Zope 2.9 (not 2.10), get `pythonproducts`_ and install it 
  via::

      python setup.py install --home /path/to/instance

  into your Zope instance.

* Create a file called ``Products.Quills-configure.zcml`` in the
  ``/path/to/instance/etc/package-includes`` directory.  The file
  should only contain this::

      <include package="Products.Quills" />

.. _pythonproducts: http://plone.org/products/pythonproducts


Buildout
--------

Alternatively, if you are using zc.buildout and the plone.recipe.zope2instance
recipe to manage your project, you can do this:

* Add ``Products.Quills`` to the list of eggs to install, e.g.::
 
    [buildout]
    ...
    eggs =
        ...
        Products.Quills
        
 * Re-run buildout, e.g. with::
  
    $ ./bin/buildout
        
Because its top level Python namespace package is called ``Products``, this
package can also be installed in Zope 2 as an old style **Zope 2 Product**.

For that, move (or symlink) the ``Quills`` folder of this project
(``Products.Quills/Products/Quills``) into the ``Products`` directory of
the Zope instance it has to be installed for, and restart the server.
