spacer About the OPML Editor spacer
spacer The OPML Editor is a distribution of the open source (GPL) Frontier programming environment.
spacer It can run apps written for Frontier, but it's unique in that it boots up as an outliner, ready to edit OPML documents.
spacer This document explains how to get started.
spacer Windows spacer
spacer 1. Download OPML.zip, extract the OPML folder.
spacer 2. Copy it where you want it, be aware that it can't be moved after you install. The obvious choice: your Program Files folder.
spacer 3. Open the folder and launch OPML.exe. A dialog should appear asking if you want to update to get the latest code. Please do. It's a "hot" install, you don't need to quit the app to keep going.
spacer Macintosh spacer
spacer 1. Download OPML.dmg.
spacer 2. Drag the OPML folder to the Applications folder.
spacer 3. Open it and run the OPML app. A dialog should appear asking if you want to update to get the latest code. Please do. It's a "hot" install, you don't need to quit the app to keep going.
spacer As of October 2011, the app in the OPML folder is a Universal app. You don't need to find Rosetta to run OPML.
spacer Amazon EC2 spacer
spacer The OPML Editor is available as an Amazon machine image. The EC2 for Poets tutorial walks you through setup.
spacer Rackspace, Azure, etc spacer
spacer Use this download if you want to run EC2 for Poets on another platform.
spacer Download this folder onto any Windows 2003 Server platform, running on Amazon, Rackspace, Windows Azure, or in your living room.
spacer static.opml.org/opmlEditor/poets/OPML.zip
spacer You will get the almost-full EC2-For-Poets experience.
spacer How to update spacer
spacer If you're already using the OPML Editor...
spacer 1. Choose Update opml.root from the File menu.
spacer 2. Quit the app and relaunch (this is needed to be sure the menubar refreshes).
spacer That's all you need to do. You might want to visit the Preferences and Tools Catalog at the top of the Misc menu.
spacer The Frontier environment spacer
spacer It boots as an outliner, but it's also a rich scripting environment, with a built-in web server, content management system, multi-threaded runtime,. It's also a development environment with a full debugger and built-in object database.
spacer All of it is organized by the outliner. We noticed that hierarchies are all over computer systems, so having it all organized with a rich hierarchy editor made a huge amount of sense.
spacer It's also a rich environment for running apps, which you can find on the Tool Catalog page.
