Installing Simba
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing Simba is pretty straighforward and will only take a couple of
|
|
|
|
minutes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everyone can download Simba at http://wizzup.org/simba/
|
|
|
|
Go to download, and download the Simba installer.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Once it is done downloading, simply run the installer and follow the steps.

|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Simba will install to C:/ by default; if you want to install it
|
2010-06-13 07:11:24 -04:00
|
|
|
somewhere else, make sure you select a different location!

Simba will probably tell you there is an update available. In this case, an
|
|
|
|
update button will appear. Alternatively you can update Simba using
|
|
|
|
Tools -> Update.

|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Updating Simba regularly is recommended.

This is not the recommended method due to some computers having problems
|
|
|
|
with FreePascal and Lazarus. However, all you must do is install FreePascal
|
|
|
|
and Lazarus (from repos or non) and open the Simba project file located
|
|
|
|
in the repository (retrieve the project with git).
|
|
|
|
You should then see a prominent "compile" button. Yay!

Setting up SRL 4 with Simba
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
2010-06-13 07:11:24 -04:00
|
|
|
If you were using the :ref:`simba-installer` then you can simply enable the
|
2010-06-12 19:50:51 -04:00
|
|
|
``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.
