Install

Uncompress the product into your zope/Products directory or link it there, e.g.:

ln -s /path/to/installation /path/to/zope/Products

Change the owner of the directory e.g.: chown -R plone:plone nosoftwarepatents_portlet

Restart Zope.

In the Plone Configuration, found under Plone Setup in Plone 2, the Add/Remove Products tool can be used to add nosoftwarepatents_portlet.

Alternative:

Add an external method to the root of the Plone Site that you want the skin registered in with the configuration:

id: install_skin

title: Install Skin optional

module name: nosoftwarepatents_portlet.Install

function name: install

Then go to the management screen for the newly added external method and click the Try it tab.
