Installation

The easiest way to get eea.geotags support in Plone 4 using this package is to work with installations based on zc.buildout. Other types of installations should also be possible, but might turn out to be somewhat tricky.

To get started you will simply need to add the package to your “eggs” and “zcml” sections, run buildout, restart your Plone instance and install the “eea.epub” package using the quick-installer or via the “Add-on Products” section in “Site Setup”.

You can download a sample buildout at:
