# 2. INSTALLATION

To set up, follow the per-platform installation instructions below. CUSTOMISE.

General non-platform-specific installation tips: Sitescooper can be configured using its sitescooper.cf file. Edit this file and search for CUSTOMISE.

Change each customisable setting appropriately and uncomment it, if you need to. Each setting has a comment describing what it does.

The first time you run sitescooper, it will pop up a list of sites in your editor, and ask you to pick which sites you wish to scoop. This creates a file in your temporary directory called site_choices.txt with these choices. Your temporary directory is the .sitescooper subdirectory of your home directory on UNIX, or C:\Windows\TEMP for Windows users; this can be changed by editing the built-in configuration in the script.

Installation instructions for the various platforms can be found below.
