Installation

To enable this product in a buildout-based installation:

1. Edit your buildout.cfg and add collective.weather to the list of eggs to install:

   [buildout]
   ...
   eggs =
       collective.weather

2. If you are using Plone 4.1, you may need to extend a Dexterity known good set (KGS) to make sure that you get the right versions of the packages that make up Dexterity:

   [buildout]
   ...
   extends =
       http://good-py.appspot.com/release/dexterity/1.2.1

After updating the configuration you need to run ‘’bin/buildout’’, which will take care of updating your system.

Go to the ‘Site Setup’ page in a Plone site and click on the ‘Add-ons’ link.

Check the box next to ‘’collective.weather’’ and click the ‘Activate’ button.

Note: You may have to empty your browser cache and save your resource registries in order to see the effects of the product installation.
