=Basic Installation=

1. Install the !FileBrowser
   Install the !FileBrowser anywhere on your python-path. I´m personally using the project-directory.
   {{{
   svn checkout http://django-filebrowser.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/filebrowser/ filebrowser
   }}}
2. Copy Media
   Copy the folder /media either to your admin media-directory (cp -R /path/to/filebrowser/media/filebrowser /path/to/your/admin/media/) or to your preferred media-directory (in this case, you have to edit URL_FILEBROWSER_MEDIA in fb_settings).
3. Add filebrowser to your INSTALLED APPS.
   Open your projects settings-file (settings.py) and add the filebrowser to your INSTALLED APPS.
4. Change fb_settings.py
   Either change fb_settings.py or overwrite the filebrowser settings in your project settings-file (settings.py). See “Available Settings”.
   Note: You do need an upload-directory. The default one is “uploads” inside your MEDIA_ROOT. Check URL_WWW and PATH_SERVER if you change this directory.
5. Change your urls.py
   Add the following line BEFORE the admin-urls:
   {{{
   (r’^admin/filebrowser/‘, include(’filebrowser.urls’)),
   }}}
6. Add the !FileBrowser to your Admin Indexpage
   Edit /templates/admin/index.html. Add this code BEFORE {% for app in app_list } … { endfor }:
   {{{
   { include “filebrowser/append.html” %}
   }}}
7. That’s it.

IMPORTANT: About 90% of the problems installing the filebrowser are related to wrong URLS and/or PATHS. So, please read through [http://code.google.com/p/django-filebrowser/wiki/Settings Available Settings] and check everything with either URL or PATH carefully (especially when using TinyMCE).
