1. Introduction

The following sections will explain how to install the necessary tools that run Fotobilder, and also how to install the FotoBilder files themselves. We do assume that you are familiar, at least somewhat, with the technologies covered in this manual, because although it's certainly not necessary to be an expert to install FotoBilder, it helps to know the concepts and tasks involved in this kind of undertaking. If you have any questions, or encounter any problems not easily remedied, feel free to join the ‘FotoBilder User's Community’ on LiveJournal.com.
