[FLOW3-general] FLOW3-general Digest, Vol 40, Issue 16 | .zip-Releases are a good idea

Hello!

…I added the missing links to my original message :)

Downloading Flow 2.0 beta 1

Starting with Flow 2.0 we don't plan to release tar or zip archives anymore (unless you convince us that this is a bad idea). Instead, you can install and upgrade through the simple composer commands. Even if you have never used Composer before, does it get any simpler than this?

curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar create-project --dev --stability beta typo3/flow-base-distribution
//

Well, for some of the newbies like me, this actually is a bad idea as an installation via Terminal becomes quite a challenge. 

1) I guess I missed doing something important, beside copy/paste/entering the provided code:

2) So, I grabbed the available .zip for version 1.0.6 but I?m not sure how to proceed to the installation of FLOW3 ? simply by drag&drop? :

3) And most importantly, where should I copy the files to? This screenshot shows my first try. Is this the correct place for the FLOW3 data?

4) Unfortunately, all the tutorials I?ve ever seen (e. g. Video2Brain.com) show how to proceed on PCs but not on a MAC. Can you perhaps recommend a video tutorial bases on the MAC OS?

I?m on MAC OS 10.7.5
Using XAMPP 1.7.3
trying to install FLOW3 with YAML in order to create responsive layouts

5) These are my current packages ( maybe I should use a newer version of the mySQL-Client instead of 5.1.44 with FLOW3? )
