[zope2-tracker] [Bug 673441] Re: Poor installation user experience

[Charlie_X]

I don't think the simple install is that simple - set up a virtualenv,
install Zope and set up an instance in a separate folder: "Always use
mkzopeinstance to create instances outside the virtualenv environment."

/path/to/virtualenv
/different/path/to/zopeinstance

Yuck!

But maybe it's just the order in the index. I think we should start with
a really easy demo buildout and then offer a mkzopeinstance approach,
although I really don't think it makes sense to offer this anymore. The
install-buildout page could be replaced by a link to the developer
instructions.

bin/pip install zc.buildout && wget path/to/demo.cfg && bin/buildout -c
demo.cfg

Maybe this could be condensed to a bin/pip install Zope2instance? Which
just bootstraps buildout and then runs the buildout?

You're right, of course, about the where the files should be. I was just
spelling out the missing requirements in a testable way.
