Installing WebDesign

Installation for WebDesign is very simple and does not require any installer applications or restarting of your computer. Only the files you move to your hard disk are installed on your computer.

To install WebDesign, unstuff the downloaded archive and mount the disk image. The disk image will contain the WebDesign folder which includes the WebDesign Application and all files to enhance WebDesign in various ways. Simply drag this folder from the disk image and place it somewhere accessible on your hard drive. If you are using Mac OS X, It is recommended that you place the WebDesign folder in your Applications folder.

WebDesign can be uninstalled, if needed, very easily. Just drag the WebDesign folder from your hard disk to the Trash can and empty the trash. If you like, you can also remove the WebDesign Preferences folder located in your System Folder->Preferences on OS 9 or username/Library/Preferences folder on Mac OS X.

Installing Plug-ins

To install plug-ins, create a directory named 'Plugins' in the same folder as the WebDesign application. Place any plug-ins within this folder and re-launch WebDesign if it is currently opened to begin using the newly installed plug-ins. You can create sub folders within the Plug-ins folder to help keep your plug-ins organized and manageable.

Installing Language Extensions

Installing language extensions is just like installing plugins however you place Language Extensions into the Language Extensions Folder. If no Language Extensions folder exists you may create a new folder and name it 'Language Extensions'. Unlike plug-ins, Language Extensions can not be inside subfolders. They must be located at the root of the Language Extension's folder.
