    1919To develop a plugin you need to create a few directories to keep things together.

    108108Copy this .egg file to /[your trac env]/plugins directory. Restart the trac server. If you're using mod_python you have to restart Apache.

    110 Now you should see ''Hello World'' link at far right in main navigation bar when accessing your site. Click it.

    123123
    124124To have a template we need a directory and of course the template itself. We will keep the same simple "Hello world!" text, but this time we will integrate our fine words into a Trac layout.

    286 First step is to ensure that your ''trac.ini'' doesn't have ''htdocs_location'' set otherwise Trac can't serve static data.
