hmm... I think IDLE is the python intepreter IDE to check out commands. You need some unix tools for a shell to enter commands to. Can you install cygwin on the laptop at http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe? (download the setup.exe then double click to run, add python from the package manager) dollar sign is the shell prompt You can check if you have easy install by running the command (the dollar sign is the shell prompt) $ which easy_install /usr/bin/easy_install if not check here to download and install: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall which will lead you to http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#windows After you download a tarball uncompress with $tar xvf file.tar There should be some documentation at <your folder>/tiddlyweb-0.9.32/ README and also the out of date docs/COOKBOOK which is what I used for a manual install before but i think it is still relevant. Chris did great documentation for the walkthrough. Both are text files so you can do something like $less README or $less docs/COOKBOOK to review after going into the distro with $ cd tiddlyweb-0.9.32 Unfortunately I only was able to install TiddlyWeb using Cygwin on WinXP. I don't have python standalone Mac OS X and Linux were easier because they already have unix so I just had to $easy_install -U tiddlyweb You're right about making an instance in both places - create an instance with $ twanager instance mywikistuff which creates a store at the current directory you're in then go over to your usb drive and create another instance Depending on your location, usb instance or hard drive instance, you can cd to your instance with cd mywikistuff then start the tiddlyweb server with $twanager server 127.0.0.1 8080 and tiddlyweb will open up that store when you open your browser to the localhost address http://127.0.0.1:8080/ I'm sorry i haven't played with TiddlyWeb in a while but i think it still should work Best, tony --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
