Getting Started with Simba
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
This page will help you install Simba and highlight some basic Simba
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
.. _installingsimba:
|
|
|
|
Installing simba
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Installing Simba is pretty straightforward 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, simply 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!
|
|
If you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7, then you will probably want
|
|
to install it to C:/ or another place; as long as writing in the actual
|
|
directory does not require administrator permissions. C:/ is a safe bet.
|
|
|
|
You can install Simba to your ``Program Files`` directory, but you will have
|
|
to run Simba as administrator in that case.
|
|
|
|
Simba will probably tell you there is an update available. In this case, an
|
|
update button will appear. Click it and the Simba Updater will show up.
|
|
Alternatively you can update Simba using Tools -> Update.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Updating Simba regularly is recommended.
|
|
|
|
Downloading Simba binary
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
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 simply enable the
|
|
``SRL Updater`` extension. (Go to View -> Extensions and enable ``srl.sex``)
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`simbaext` for more information on Extensions.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Setting up SRL 5 with Simba
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
This will follow later, upon SRL 5 release.
|
|
|
|
Installing scripts
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Scripts can be downloaded with the Script Manager, in Tools -> Script Manager.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The Script Manager is not finished yet.
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
If you run into problems that are not mentioned here, make sure you look at
|
|
the :ref:`Troubleshooting` page.
