Media 2.x

If you are upgrading from 7.x-1.x to 7.x-2.0, please refer to these notes and issues;
#2853273: upgrading from 1.x to 2.x support
#2082037: Document Upgrade Path from Media 1.x to Media 2.x/3.x
7.x-2.0 recipe using media_ckeditor (in this recipe you can substitute media_ckeditor with wysiwyg if you choose, the setup is similar)

Please note, if you are using 7.x-2.0 in combination with the entity_translation module you must then upgrade entity_translation to entity_translation beta6 (and I strongly recommend applying this patch to entity_translation beta6)

Follow the above recipe to set up dependencies then perform the configuration steps included.

Media Distribution for developers

An installation profile has been created for developers who want to work on Media. The Media Development Profile facilitates faster development by installing and adding basic configuration to Drupal 7, CKEditor, Media and its dependencies, as well as downloading a number of media providers and development modules that are commonly used during media development and testing.
