Installation files

Post by sayitlikeitis »

I was about to install the latest version and noticed there were no *.zip files, or am I missing something?  How would the files held in cmsmadesimple-1.4.1-full.tar.gz be extracted, can you tell me?  My PC used to be able to extract a .zip file, but doesn't know how to handle a .tar.gz file.

Well, actually Mark, I did try a search first, but I must admit I didn't try too hard, because the installation guide says unzipping the files is possible. For all I knew the zip files had yet to be put up on your site when I checked.  The site didn’t say zip files had been discontinued.
It looks like you have a redundant user guide on the site.

Step 2 notes, "Unzip/untar that file with a zip/tar program to a directory..."



Thanks for your help Mel, I'll see what I can find.

I have edited the documentation for quick install to reflect the fact that most all the files are in .tar.gz format and advising windows users to DL 7Zip to unpack them...

http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

If anyone knows of some others I will put them in the link for "zip/tar programs" so we aren't stuck with one...

Sorry if sounded ? but this has been talked about numerous times, and I'm sorry if the search forum doesn't work the greatest...
