Getting started with Simba
|
|
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This page will help you install Simba and point you at some basic Simba
|
|
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing Simba
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing Simba is pretty straighforward and will only take a couple of
|
|
|
|
minutes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _simba-installer:

|

Simba installer
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everyone can download Simba at http://wizzup.org/simba/
|
|
|
|
Go to download, and download the Simba installer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once it is done downloading, simple run the installer and follow the steps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Simba will install to C:/ by default; if you want to install it
|
|
|
|
somewhere else, make sure you select a different location in the installer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have installed Simba, make sure you update it at least once,
|
|
|
|
to get a more recent version of Simba.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simba will tell you there is an update and an update button will appear.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can update Simba using Tools -> Update.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Updating Simba regularly is recommended.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is harder and not recommended. Steps on how to do this will follow later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For now, simply stick to the installer and update
|
|
|
|
Simba after the install has completed.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Setting up SRL 4 with Simba
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you were using the :ref:`simba-installer` then you can simple enable the
|
|
|
|
``SRL Updater`` extension. (Go to View -> Extensions and enable srl.sex)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the only supported way. You can simply do a svn checkout on the srl
|
|
|
|
repository, but if you can do that, then you should be able to set up SRL
|
|
|
|
yourself as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing scripts
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scripts can be downloaded with the Script Manager, in Tools -> Script Manager.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The Script Manager is not finished yet.
|
|
|
|
|
