I am new to Plone and I am having trouble understanding how to install addons. I have read the documentation provided on their site, but I am still a bit confused.
The addon that I am trying to install is http://plone.org/products/uwosh.timeslot.
In the documentation, I see them using a something like cmd.exe, but I am not really sure what it is. Is it the python.exe located in the python folder?
Also, I am not clear if the addon that I wish to install is in an "egg" form.
Could someone please provide me with a detailed process for installation?
Thank you.

Find, then edit your buildout.cfg file per instructions above to add the uwosh.timeslot egg.
Re-run bin/buildout (or bin\buildout on windows) from the main plone directory on the command-line (do not run from the bin directory as your current working directory).
Answering your other questions:
Yes, packages listed on PyPI.python.org are "eggs" in the sense that you install them as eggs in buildout, not classic "Products".
cmd.exe is MS Windows command-line, assuming you are using Windows, not Unix.
This is only useful if you know where your Plone installation is located on disk -- you should.

I got stuck installing "git clone https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git.git". In which directory is this supposed to be cloned and installed?
Dunno if you're still looking for an answer but it doesn't seem you need this installed to install guix; the read-me of the repository says that you can install it via guix. guix is an agnostic package manager that you can install on any Linux distribution alongside the default package manager and guix is the default package manager of the GuixSD operating system (https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/).
If you're on a distro which doesn't use guix, you may not want to install guix (I've yet to find reason enough to, yet); if you use a lot of GNU tools or Guile (some Guile packages are available through guix), you may want to.
Most repositories that don't have a binary for you to run follow the build process of configure, make, and [sudo ]make install.
I cloned the repository, myself, and find that this one does, as well.
Get a terminal (if you haven't been using one, yet) and cd into the directory you cloned the repository to and then cd into the guile-git directory (cd guile-git).
If we do ls -l, we'll see that the only executable file there is the bootstrap one; I've never seen one before but doing ./bootstrap generates the configure file and sets up the make process for us. So now back in familiar territory.
Given these are Guile files, we'll probably want to install this under the same prefix as where Guile is installed so run which guile. I believe, if you install it under Ubuntu (I'm running Linux Mint), it'll install to /usr/bin/ but, if you install it manually, it'll install to /usr/local/bin/.
The latter is where mine is and that's the default prefix that configure uses so I can just do ./configure; if you wanted to install it under /usr/, run /.configure --prefix=/usr/.
This'll verify that all of the necessary libraries and programs that guile-git needs are installed and properly setup. Heads up that configure balked at me over not having the Guile module bytestructures installed (https://github.com/TaylanUB/scheme-bytestructures) so you may need to do that.
I'm not going to run through everything to get it installed but, once you can run it without any errors, run make to build it within the directory.
If you want to install it permanently on your computer with the rest of your operating system able to detect it, run make install. Since you'll likely've specified a directory under /usr, you'll have to do sudo make install so that the make process can have permissions to install under /usr/local or /usr.
Sorry if I reiterated anything you already knew; 'just didn't want to assume you knew something and result in confusion.
When developing packages in RStudio.
By default RStudio assume your package directory is the project directory and it looks like that:
But you are allowed to point the package location to a subdirectory of the project directory and it looks like that:
This way you can have some part of your project files, kept in the root project directory, not included in the package. You don't need to set git ignore etc.
But if you want to add RStudio git repo features, you are not allowed to point your git repo in subdirectory, even if you have already created git repo in your package dir (not project dir) you cannot set it in RStudio. I'm stuck at:
Is there any way to enable git repo features in RStudio having git repository in the subdirectory of the RStudio project? Maybe some .Rproj config tweaks?
Very good question. I've experienced the same trouble and it also does not go away with the latest pre-test release. So there's likely no super quick solution to this inside rstudio. Though it might be worth a feature request.
Personally I use the console / git bash with git and rstudio. That is I create a project inside R studio and manually run git init outside rstudio. Also I add, commit, merge, push and pull outside rstudio. If you don't like to manage git via console there's https://windows.github.com/ and https://mac.github.com/ also the folks at Atlassian provide some GUI tool called source tree: https://www.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/overview
Plus there are many others, like Tortoise Git which I haven't tested, but I think R Studio's current git support is fine for simple things, but a git tool (console or gui) is definitely the way to go if you want to be more flexible.
That being said, sublime text edit is a powerful and easy to hack and customizable text editor which also has quite some packages to extend it. It's not entirely free but sometimes it's a nice supplement to rstudio. And it has a cool resolve conflict package etc.
WampServer is installed on my computer.
I am wishing to install the RMySQL package.
The online documentation of the latter mentions:
Install a MySQL client library from http://www.mysql.com or http://dev.mysql.com. If you already installed a MySQL server, you may want to re-run the install to ensure that you also installed client header and library files. Note that Xampp doesn't include these.
I am confused I don't know which are these required 'header' and 'library' files. And, how do I know whether they are made available by WampServer? If it is not the case, can I simply add them somewhere to a WampServer folder (instead of uninstalling WampServer and installing Apache and its friends separatedly)?
Thanks,
Édouard
OK so I've just gone through the living hell that is installing RMySQL on Windows. But finally succeeded.
Binaries on windows are not supported, so the other answers saying this is "Simple" are wrong. Also a lot of the guides etc out there are outdated, or have broken links.
The best overall answer for MYSQL generally is to look at:
Using MySQL in R for Windows
Basically you have to install RTools in order to be able to compile the packages from source.
However specifically with WAMPServer, it doesn't install the .lib and client files. So what I did was go to MYSQL to find the exact same version of MYSQL as Wampserver had installed. I downloaded the zip file version. I compared the lib directories with a visual difference tool (Beyond Compare) and copied across the missing files into my WAMPServer MYSQL installation.
As per the guide above, I then copied:
libmysql.lib from mysql/lib to mysql/lib/opt to meet dependencies.
libmysql.dll to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin
Finally install.packages('RMySQL',type='source') worked
For people using WampServer in Windows and wanting to install RMySQL, I've adapted the instructions outlined here. I'm assuming you already have WampServer installed. I'll also use the file paths that I used on my computer, but keep in mind that your file paths may differ slightly (due to different versions, installations, etc.)
Install latest RTools from here.
Create a new file called Renviron.site in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\etc\, open the file in a text editor, and add a line like MYSQL_HOME="C:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.6.12" (path to your mysql files). Make sure to use forward slashes and don't forget the quotes.
Click on your WampServer icon and go to MySQL, then Version. This will tell you what version of MySQL was included in your WampServer distribution.
Go to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql and download and install the same version of MySQL that is included in your WampServer distribution.
Once you've gone through the complete installation, go to the folder where MySQL installed and copy the file called libmysql.lib, which can be found in the lib\ folder.
Now go to the lib\ folder in your WampServer directory (mine is C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.12\lib) and create a new folder called opt\.
Paste into this new opt folder the libmysql.lib file that you just copied.
You can now uninstall the MySQL server that you just downloaded, since we only needed that one file from it (which is apparently not included in the WampServer distribution).
Under C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.12\lib\, you'll also find libmysql.dll. Copy this to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\i386\ (This works if you have 36 bit Windows like me. I think if you have 64 bit, you may just put it under the bin\ subdirectory instead of under bin\i386\, but please don't hold me to that.) I also copied the same file (libmysql.dll) to the C:\windows\system32\ directory, but I'm not sure if this is necessary.
In R, run install.packages('RMySQL',type='source') and hopefully the installation completes without any issues. You can then load the package as usual with library(RMySQL).
Note: I'm running 32 bit Windows, R-2.15.1, and a WampServer distribution that includes MySQL 5.6.12.
I have had problems getting a paster generated theme product to work in my production Plone 4.0 server, so I thought I would try again now that 4.1 is out. I'm now having a different problem: the theme just doesn't show up in the Add-ons list. Here's what I did:
Installed Plone 4.1 for Windows from Enfold
Downloaded ez_setup.py, and ran it with Plone's embedded python
Ran the installed easy_install to get the latest ZopeSkel installed into the embedded Python.
mkdir src ; cd src ; ..\python\Scripts\paster create -t plone3_theme plonetheme.lt
Answered the questions so that I'd get a theme based on the plone4 Sunburst theme
Otherwise I don't touch anything in that generated code.
cd plonetheme.lt ; ....\python\python.exe setup.py develop [not sure if I need to do this]
Edit the buildout.cfg to add plonetheme.lt to the eggs list, and added:
develop = src/plonetheme.lt
Run buildout. It mentions that it can find the plonetheme.lt package.
Start Zeo and Plone servers
The plonetheme.lt does not appear in the list of Add-ons
What can I have missed? I've poured over the bits of documentation on plone.org and I have Martin Aspeli's books. Many thanks. I've also tried adding the packaging to the zcml slugs, to no avail.

"cd plonetheme.lt ; ....\python\python.exe setup.py develop [not sure if I need to do this]"
no this is useless
"Edit the buildout.cfg to add plonetheme.lt to the eggs list, and added: develop = src/plonetheme.lt"
you need to add it to the zcml list too.
More info:
Take a look at the step 2 of this guide:
http://plone.org/documentation/kb/add-ons/installing
You could try the another solution using buildout.eggtractor
Or better if you paste your buildout somewhere...
I've got a VPS setup with Nginx & PHP5-FPM.
Being fairly new to unix, VPS etc... it took me ages to get the setup I wanted.
However Now I want to be able to install some extensions onto PHP without haveing to rebuild the entire thing. For example. Is there a way to install the php_tidy extension on an existing PHP setup?
You can compile an extensions as a shared library. Then you just have to declare your module in the php.ini.
There is a description at php.net for phpize.
Performance differences between a module and a full compilation are discussed here.
Check out the documentation at http://pecl.php.net/ on how to install PHP extensions.
It's usually as easy as running a command such as
pecl install tidy
