History for ZopeStudioInstallation

??changed:
-
Zope Studio consists of two parts, one server side Zope Product, and one Mozilla
package, which contains the actual Zope Studio software.

Installation differs with the method by which you obtained Zope Studio.

Snapshot

  When downloading the weekly snapshot, make sure you get both Zope Studio
  itself, as well as the server component.

  Install the server component, !ZopeStudioProduct, by unpacking it in your Zope
  server root directory. It will create a new Product directory, !ZopeStudio.
  Restart your Zope server.

  You can install Zope Studio itself by unpacking the downloaded archive, and
  running the command::

    python install.py |dest|

  where |dest| is the directory with the Mozilla binaries. In a nightly download
  or a Mozilla Milestone, this will be called 'package/', and in a Mozilla tree
  built from source this will be a 'dist/bin/' directory.

  After installation you have to tell Mozilla to use the right 'skin' for Zope
  Studio. Start Mozilla, choose Edit -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Themes,
  highlight 'Zope Studio' and click 'Switch Theme'. This will leave the
  currently selected theme intact, but allows Mozilla to find the correct files
  for Zope Studio.

CVS Checkout

  If you ran a CVS checkout of Zope Studio, you can install Zope Studio by
  running the install.py script in the '!ZopeStudio' subdirectory, see the
  instructions for a snapshot installation. Don't forget to activate the Zope
  Studio skin!

  On Unix, you can also use this script to make symlinks into the Mozilla
  directory structure, or you can use it to copy back any changes made to the
  installed files. This way you can keep your CVS checkout directory for Zope
  Studio development. See the output of 'python install.py -h' for details.

  The code for the server component is in the '!ZopeStudioProduct' subdirectory.
  Copy it's contents to a newly created '!ZopeStudio' directory in the
  lib/python/Products directory of your Zope server installation, or (on Unix)
  create a symlink from lib/python/Products to !ZopeStudioProduct. You will need
  to restart Zope.

Starting Zope Studio

  You can use the '-zopestudio' command line switch to start Zope Studio, but
  only after Mozilla has re-registered the new components. You may need to
  delete the 'component.reg' file found in the Mozilla binary directory, and run
  Mozilla without any command line arguments for this to work.

  ShaneH 8/17 -- Another way to start ZopeStudio (after running the install.py script) is by entering './mozilla -chrome chrome://zopestudio/content/'.  In fact, this was the only way I could get it to work with the latest Mozilla builds.
