[photran] how to install photran-4.0-beta1.zip
|
Excuse for my naivete, but I have always installed plug-ins, new
features by adding a Remote Site (if necessary) and letting Help /
Software Updates / Find and Install do all the work for me. I am only an
occasional Eclipse user at this point.
When I grabbed the photran (in the subject line) .zip file, I thought I
only needed to click "New Archived Site" and point to the zip file. This
does not work. I get a message like:
"Network connection problems encountered during search"
If I look at Details, it says ...cannot find the file:
"/usr/local/share/eclipse/LocalPlugins/photran-4.0-beta1.zip!/"
I cannot get it to drop those last two characters, "!/", so it thinks
it's looking for a folder instead of a .zip file (I think). I also tried
point to a folder where I had exploded the zip and that didn't work
either. When I expand the .zip, I thought, from other documentation I
saw, that there needs to be a site.xml file in the top directory. This
file only has features/ and plugins/ folders, no site.xml .
I have never added a feature in this manner before, so I apologize in
advance as I'm sure this is silly.
Thank you -
