#920676: How to Install

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.

Install drush (if not yet present) and drush_make.
Create a file mn.make in your working directory with this content:
core = 6.x
projects[] = "drupal"
projects[] = "managingnews"
Run drush make mn.make mymanagingnewsdir.
Copy the resulting mymanagingnewsdir to your web directory.

Results (via aegir):
! You need to specify an API version of two in your makefile: api = 2
x Unable to download managingnews from .
x Could not download platform using drush make. No platform present.

Would be very grateful for updated instructions.

Correct makefile, trivially adapted from http://drupal.org/node/920718:

core = "6.x"
projects[] = "drupal"
projects[managingnews][type] = "profile"
projects[managingnews][download][type] = "git"
projects[managingnews][download][url] = "git://git.drupal.org/project/managingnews.git"
projects[managingnews][download][tag] = "6.x-1.2"

Suggest http://drupal.org/node/920676 needs updating
