In this chapter, Configuring refers to making changes to a new OpenACS site through the web interface. In crude terms, these changes happen in the database, and are upgrade-safe. Customizing refers to changes that touch the file system, and require some planning if easy upgradability is to be maintained.

+ Installing OpenACS packages
+
+ An OpenACS package lets your website do things it couldn't
+ before. You can have a weblog, a calendar, or even do
+ sophisticated project-management via your website.
+
+ After you've installed OpenACS, you can congratulate
+ yourself for a job well done. Then, you'll probably want to
+ install a couple of packages.
+
+ To install packages, you have to be an administrator on
+ the OpenACS webserver. Log in, and you'll see a link to Admin or
+ the Control Panel. Click on that, then click on 'Install
+ software'.
+
+ At this point, you'll need to determine whether or not
+ you're able to install from the repository, or whether you
+ should install from local files.
+
+ Basically, if you have a local CVS repository, or have
+ custom code, you need to install from 'Local Files'. Otherwise,
+ you can install from the OpenACS repository
+
+ If you want to install new packages, click on 'Install
+ from Repository' or 'Install from Local'. Select the package,
+ and click 'Install checked applications'. The system will check
+ to make sure you have all necessary packages that the package
+ you want depends on. If you're installing from Local Files, and
+ you are missing any packages, you may have to add the packages
+ your desired package depends on.
+
+ If you run into any errors at all, check your
+ /var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME/log/error.log file, and
+ post your error on the OpenACS forums

+ Mounting OpenACS packages
+ After you've installed your packages, you have to 'mount'
+ them in order to make them appear on your website.
