= Section 1: Installation =
 1. Extract the [http://model-glue.com/blog/enclosures/PlantOMatic.zip PlantOMatic.zip] file into your webroot. 
 1. Setup required frameworks '''*'''
   a. Move the entire /PlantOMatic/_install/coldspring directory into your webroot.
   a. Move the entire /PlantOMatic/_install/ModelGlue directory into your webroot. 
   a. Move the entire /PlantOMatic/_install/reactor directory into your webroot. 
 1. Create a new empty database called plantomatic in either MSSQL or MySQL and run the appropriate script (appropriate .sql file in  /PlantOMatic/_install/) to create the table structure and populate the database with initial data.
 1. '''Note:''' If you use MSSQL, you must change line 107 in /PlantOMatic/config/ColdSpring.xml to: 
{{{ 
<property name="type"><value>mssql</value></property>
}}}
 1. Create a new data source in your !ColdFusion Administrator. Name the data source plantomatic
 1. Open up your web browser and visit: [http://localhost/PlantOMatic http://localhost/PlantOMatic] and compare your results with a successful installation shown in the figure below:

'' A successful install ''

'''* Note:''' If you already have these setup w/mappings you may get an error. Disable the mappings while doing the training.

== If You Have Errors At This Point ==


'''* Note:''' If you can not complete these steps, it's likely you do not have the files in your webroot. /ModelGlue, /ColdSpring, /PlantOMatic and /Reactor should all be in sibling directories. (All at the same level.) If each directory can not be placed in the webroot, you will need to create a mapping in your ColdFusion Administrator ( Or in Application.cfc if you prefer )

'''* To Find The Problem:''' Use your web browser to click on each link below. If you get sent to the CF Component Browser, your directory location is correct. If you get a 'Page Not Found' or a '404' page, your directory location is not correct and you need to move the framework to a sibling location of PlantOMatic, or add a mapping to your ColdFusion Administrator. Unless all frameworks are in the expected location, PlantOMatic will not run. 


''ColdSpring: '' [http://localhost/coldspring/beans/BeanFactory.cfc][[BR]]
''ModelGlue: '' [http://localhost/ModelGlue/gesture/ModelGlue.cfc][[BR]]
''Reactor: '' [http://localhost/reactor/reactorFactory.cfc][[BR]]
''PlantOMatic: '' [http://localhost/PlantOMatic/controller/GlobalController.cfc][[BR]]

'''If you are still stuck, now's a good time to sign up for the [http://groups.google.com/group/model-glue Model-Glue Google Group] and post your question. Be sure to be explicit with what you've already done, and any error messages you are getting.
