Hi,

I'm installing Plone from source onto a RedHat EL4 test server using http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/setup-from-source as my reference.

I have got as far as "Setting up the software" but this is the part I'm having difficulty understanding

"Extract the Plone tarball. This will give you a folder called Plone-2.1 (presuming you have version 2.1), in which you will see a number of products folders, such as CMFPlone and CMFCore. Copy all these product folders (not the top-level Plone- folder) into ~/zope/instance1/Products/."

The Plone-2.1.2/CMFPlone/install.txt lists these as mandatory

**REQUIREMENTS**

**MANDATORY**

- Zope 2.7.8 (or 2.8.5)

- CMF 1.5.5 (not 1.4) Included in the Plone tarball

- CMFQuickInstallerTool 1.5.5 or newer - GroupUserFolder 3.5 or newer - BTreeFolder2 1.0.2 or newer - CMFFormController 1.0.6 or newer - SecureMailHost 1.0.1 or newer - Archetypes 1.3.6 or newer - ATContentTypes 1.0.2 or newer - ATReferenceBrowserWidget 1.1 or newer - ResourceRegistries 1.1 or newer - ExtendedPathIndex 2.2 or newer - CMFDynamicViewFTI 1.0.1 or newer

- Python Imaging Library 1.1.5 or newer Not included in the Plone tarball http://effbot.org/downloads/#Imaging Note: You have to build PIL with jpeg and png support. See the README of PIL for more information.

- Placeless Translation Service 1.2.5 or newer - PloneTranslations 2.1.2 - PloneLanguageTool 0.9 or newer

as neither CMF 1.5.5 or Python Imaging Library 1.1.5 are included in the Plone-2.1.2 tar ball I am wondering; which is correct the "install.txt" or is it the "how-to/setup-from-source"?

CMFCore, CMFCalendar, CMFDefault, CMFSetup, DCWorkflow, and CMFTopic are included in the Plone 2.1.2 tarball, and are drawn from CMF 1.5.5. I don't know about the PIL requirement, however. BTW, your question would likely get a more authoritative answer on the plone-users list.

You probably should send your Plone related questions to the "plone-users" mailing list...

... "Extract the Plone tarball. This will give you a folder called Plone-2.1 (presuming you have version 2.1), in which you will see a number of products folders, such as CMFPlone and CMFCore. Copy all these product folders (not the top-level Plone- folder) into ~/zope/instance1/Products/."

I would expect that all those requirements are in your "Plone-2.1" tarball -- maybe with the exception of "Zope 2.7.8/2.8.5). Reread the instructions again; somewhere you will see the "~zope/instance1" to be mentioned for the first time. This is a so called Zope "INSTANCE_HOME". It has a subdirectory "Products". The prescription tells you to copy the products extracted from the Plone tarball into this "Products" subdirectory. -- Dieter
