==3. Python== | |||
When running WinCVS for the first time you are asked to install python on your system (in | |||
case you don't have it already there). This all is very easy, just click on the link in the message | |||
window and download a stable Windows binary version. | |||
After downloading let Windows do all the installwork, just click on the downloaded file, ie | |||
“python-2.4.3.msi”. | |||
In case the WinCVS window is still open, close the program and start it again after the python | |||
installation has been finished. | |||
==4. Selecting or creating a download folder== | |||
It is highly recommended not to upgrade directly into your Flightgear data folder. If there are | |||
any errors due to internet connection or otherwise you will not destroy you old FlightGear | |||
data. | |||
You may use WinCVS to create a new folder on one of your harddisks with enough space left | |||
for the big download. | |||
Use the yellow folder symbol to select or create your CVS folder. You | |||
may name it as you like. WinCVS creates the data folder itself when downloading. | |||
After selection, “your” CVS folder shows up. | |||
==5. Download== | |||
Now you are ready for downloading, you must have established your internet connection. | |||
