Please take a look at the basic documentation here

http://askbot.org/doc/index.html

The simplest command to start installation is

easy_install askbot

However, if you are installing on a shared host, there are some details (--prefix parameter and PATH environment variable). Also you might not yet have easy_install - in that case you'll have to get it first. Other than that, installation is fairly straightforward.

The most reliable updates are available through easy_install and Python Package Index. While it is impossible to guarantee correctness of code, it is becoming more reliable as more automated quality assurance tests are added.

Development version is available at Github, it has the most implemented features, but some may be not quite finished. If you are interested to join developing this software - that would be awesome.finished.

http://askbot.org/doc/index.htmlHello Noah,

The simplest command to start installation edit: finally there is an easier way:

easy_install askbot

However, give it a try - it is from the experimental branch, which is due to be merged into master soon. I'll appreciate feedback if you are installing on a shared host, there are some details (--prefix parameter and PATH environment variable). Other than that, installation is fairly straightforward.have any issues with the package installation.

Hello Noah,

There is a quirk under Windows - you'll still need to separately install mysql-python binary, I've skipped it for now in setup.py, b/c I do not know yet how to package it properly.

You can always fall back on the github version too.

Hello Noah,

Take a look into the document

http://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/blob/master/forum/documentation/INSTALL

There are quite a few steps now, but in a couple of weeks this process will significantly improve.

At this time do skip steps for 'sphinx' search engine.

If you are you on a shared host, there will be some modifications:

• dependency libraries that are not available on your host will have to go into an alternate location with a flag --prefix ~ to easy_install command (that way prefix will be your home directory)
• path to that directory will have to be prepended to your $PYTHONPATH environment variable.
• the same path modification must be reflected in file django.wsgi

If you have any difficulties please don't hesitate to post your questions on this forum.
