Buildout

Alternatively, if you are using zc.buildout and the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to manage your project, you can do this:

• Add quintagroup.seoptimizer to the list of eggs to install, e.g.:

  For Plone 4 - in your buildout.cfg file write:

  [buildout]
  ....
  eggs =
       ...
       quintagroup.seoptimizer >=4.0
  

  For Plone 3 - in your buildout.cfg file write:

  [buildout]
  ....
  eggs =
       ...
       quintagroup.seoptimizer >3.0,<4.0
  

• Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:

  [instance]
  ...
  zcml =
      quintagroup.seoptimizer
  

• Re-run buildout, e.g. with:

  $ ./bin/buildout
  

• Restart the Zope server, e.g with the following command in the terminal:

  $ ./bin/instance restart
  

Traditional Zope 2 Instance

To install quintagroup.seoptimizer into the global Python environment (or a workingenv), using a traditional Zope 2 instance, you can do this:

• Copy quintagroup folder to your instance's /lib/python directory.

• Create a file called quintagroup.seoptimizer-configure.zcml in your instance's /etc/package-includes directory. The file should only contain this:

  <include package="quintagroup.seoptimizer" file="configure.zcml" />
  

• Restart the Zope server, for example with the following command in the terminal:

  $ ./bin/zopectl restart
  

Install quintagroup.seoptimizer via ZMI portal_setup -> Import tab. Select quintagroup.seoptimizer from the list of available profiles and press Import all steps.
