    • web site
      • create a renetcol directory in /var/www/, mkdir /var/www/renetcol/, copy web directory cp -r web /var/www/renetcol/ then chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/renetcol
      • edit var.php and change paths.

    • on Linux and Windows XP, see : http://renetcol.renater.fr/wiki/renetcolGUI

      http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.6/python-2.6.6.msi
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.16/gtk+-bundle_2.16.6-20100912_win32.zip
Unzip in C:\Program Files (x86)\GTK
 open a DOS shell and apply the command :
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v Path /d "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\GTK\bin" /f
 reboot ;)
