The CFM installation has instructions for UNIX/LINUX; but not forWindows.
I'm a complete novice with ZOPE and want to instal CFM and use it to train myself.
Can someone point me to the doc for this?
CMF, you mean? Never heard of a CFM. First, don't assume that there are docs for something. There may or may not be, so you should be prepared to figure it out yourself, which may include asking on the newsgroup. The CMF is lacking generally in narrative docs, although there are people working on this right now. Second, I might suggest the zope-cmf list as a better forum for asking about the CMF. I'm not going to cross-post this, but that's the best place for CMF stuff. So, to finally answer your question, go and take a look at the install doc again, but ignore the Unixish example commands. The steps are generally true for all platforms, although it does use a few Unixisms. Basically the gist is this: o download the install file. o uncompress/unarchive it into a temporary area. o copy, move, or link the directories inside what was just decompressed to the Zope products folder. This is something like 'zope/lib/python/Products' in the standard install. o restart Zope and check that everything made it. o create a CMF Site object and you're ready to roll. However, I might caution that it would be better to become more familiar with Zope before diving into the CMF. It's another whole level of deep magic. --jcc (carved deep)
