This intro screencast will walk you through the initial setup and usage of Managing News after it has been installed. You can also read the Quick Start Guide.

Packaging with Drush Make

If you have not downloaded the full Managing News package from http://managingnews.com you can use drush to download all required modules, themes and features.

This assumes basic knowledge of how to install and use drush commands.

1. Install drush (if not yet present) and drush_make.
2. Create a file mn.make in your working directory with this content:
   

   core = 6.x
   projects[] = "drupal"
   projects[] = "managingnews"
   

3. Run drush make mn.make mymanagingnewsdir.
4. Copy the resulting mymanagingnewsdir to your web directory.
