# $Id: INSTALL,v 1.5 2006/04/06 04:33:07 cyb0rg Exp $

Welcome to Zort!
http://zort.sf.net/

REQUIREMENTS
------------

  * A webserver of some sort (tested with Apache 1)
  * PHP (tested using PHP 4.3.x and 4.4.x)

  If you've pulled Zort from CVS instead of from a release:
  * MagpieRSS - http://magpierss.sf.net/
    Bundled with version 0.7.2

  If you want to play nicely and use the MagpieRSS cache properly:
  * Ability to create a directory writeable by the webserver user

INSTALLATION
------------

  1) Untar Zort anywhere in a web-accessible directory.
  2) Make sure that the "cache" directory is writeable by the webserver.
  3) Move one of the sample configs from the "examples" directory to
     config.php in the main directory, and edit it to include the
     categories/feeds you want to use.
  
  That's it!
  
  Optionally:
  4) If you grabbed Zort from CVS, or want to use a different MagpieRSS
     other than the one bundled, make sure that the subdir "magpierss"
     in Zort's dir points to the MagpieRSS installation you want to use.
