There is a buildout for installing opencore. It is currently experimental -- installation might be easier than the standard getting started procedure, but there's no guarantee the resulting site will work. Please drop us a line on opencore-dev or file a Trac ticket if you have any problems.

The buildout creates a Plone 3.2 environment with opencore installed.

svn co https://svn.openplans.org/svn/opencore/buildout/plone-3.2 opencore-buildout
cd opencore-buildout
python2.4 bootstrap.py
./bin/buildout

./bin/instance to start the server.

If you get an ImportError about PIL, just add "PIL" to buildout.cfg's [eggs] section and re-run ./bin/buildout (it will be quicker the second time around, don't worry)
