Installing JyDT
This section describes how to install JyDT by connecting to the JyDT update site on the internet. If you have downloaded an update site to a computer on your network, please follow the instructions to install from a local update site.
If you have another plug-in installed that includes an editor to open .py files, it might be better to uninstall it before proceeding with the installation of JyDT.
- Choose Help>Software Updates>Find and Install from the menu bar.
- The Install/Update dialog appears.
Select option "Search for new features to install" and press "Next".
- The dialog displays "Update sites to visit" which looks like this:
- Press "New Remote Site". The "New Update Site" dialog appears.
Fill it in as follows and press "OK".
