       r51:~/Plone-2.1.3-SUSE_10.0_bundle #

2. Install Python and the Python XML interface:

       r51:~/Plone-2.1.3-SUSE_10.0_bundle # rpm -Uhv python23-2.3.5-10.i586.rpm
       Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
          1:python23               ########################################### [100%]
       r51:~/Plone-2.1.3-SUSE_10.0_bundle # rpm -Uhv python23-xml-2.3.5-10.i586.rpm
       Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
          1:python23-xml           ########################################### [100%]

3. Optional but recommended: install the Python Imaging Library (PIL):

       r51:~/Plone-2.1.3-SUSE_10.0_bundle # rpm -Uhv python23-tk-2.3.5-10.i586.rpm
             Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
             1:python23-tk            ########################################### [100%]
             r51:~/Plone-2.1.3-SUSE_10.0_bundle # rpm -Uhv python23-imaging-1.1.5-2.i586.rpm
             Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
             1:python23-imaging       ########################################### [100%]

4. Install Zope:

       r51:~/Plone-2.1.3-SUSE_10.0_bundle # rpm -Uhv zope-2.8.7-1.i586.rpm
       Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
          1:zope                   ########################################### [100%]
       Updating etc/sysconfig/zope...
       Default zope instance not found, creating
       Instance home not absolute, placing under /var/opt/zope.

5. Install Plone:

       r51:~/Plone-2.1.3-SUSE_10.0_bundle # rpm -Uhv plone-2.1.3-1.i586.rpm
       Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
          1:plone                  ########################################### [100%]

6. Start Zope to see if the installation was successful:

       r51:~/Plone-2.1.3-SUSE_10.0_bundle # rczope start
       Starting zope, instances: default                                    done

   Open the Zope start page (http://localhost:8080/) in a web browser. If you see a page named Zope Quick Start your Zope server is up and running.

7. Log in into Zope by opening the URL http://localhost:8080/manage in your browser and entering superuser as user name and 123 as password.

8. Create a Plone instance: in the main frame you are given the opportunity to add objects, ATContentTypes tools being preselected. Choose Plone site from this list. In the next form you have to fill in an Id like myplonesite or whatever you prefer. Press the Add Plone Site button afterwards. A few seconds later the home page of your new Plone site will be displayed in your Zope management interface. From now on you can reach your Plone site via the URL http://localhost:8080/myplonesite. You can open this URL in a new browser window and login with the aforementioned superuser/123 combination.
