1、安装下列依赖包：gcc, g++, gnu make, tar, bzip2
sudo apt-get install gcc g++ gnu make tar bzip2
2、安装plone：
从官方网站下载Plone的Linux安装包（.tar.gz）解压至/tmp
cd /tmp
tar zxvf Plone-3.2.3-UnifiedInstaller.tar.gz
cd Plone-3.2.3-UnifiedInstaller
./install.sh standalone安装完了会显示管理员密码和怎么启动(信息被保存在~/Plone/zinstance/adminPassword.txt中）。
默认的端口是8080，可在配置文件~/Plone/zinstance/etc/zope.conf中修改这个端口。
默认的实例是/opt/Plone-3.2.3/zinstance。
创建两个默认系统用户和组plone，zope。
启动：
~/Plone/zinstance/bin/plonectl start关闭：
~/Plone/zinstance/bin/plonectl stophttp:/localhost:8080 显示一个欢迎页面，:8080/Plone 进入一个测试plone页面，:8080/manage 进入管理界面。
3、中文化：
默认安装后进入:8080/Plone 显示的语言是英语，为了以中文显示，需要稍微设置一下：以admin登入，密码查看文件~/Plone/vsuan/adminPassword.txt。
1）点击右上角的“Site Setup”，然后点击屏幕中部的language进入language settings界面，够选“Show country-specific language variants”，然后在语言的下拉框中选择Chinese(China)，最后点击save即可，刷新一下页面，这时全是中文的了。
2）部分菜单仍是英语（比如news, users,events），可以这样做：点击左上角的“首页”-->"文件夹内容“，然后够选一项，再点击”改名“，在”新标题处“输入”用户“，最后点击“全部改名”按钮返回，其他两个相应改为“新闻”和“事件”。
3）主页也是英文内容：更换成你自己公司的介绍是个不错的注意。点击左上角“首页”-->"查看“，鼠标下移到主页标题“Welcome to Plone“并单击后改为”欢迎来到微算公司“，其他部分作类似操作修改。
4）修改默认的管理员密码：:8080/manage -->acl_users-->users-->password
4、官方安装文档（可能不成功，仅供参考）：
Installing a Plone buildout on Ubuntu
by Kees Hink (Goldmund, Wyldebeast & Wunderliebe) — last modified May 02, 2010 06:30 PM
This how-to describes, step by step, how you can install Plone on an Ubuntu system. It contains a shell script which you can execute with minimal thinking.
Important note: Since Plone 3.1, the preferred way to get a buildout-based setup for Plone is to use the standard installer for your operating system (the Windows installer, the Mac installer, or the Unified Installer for Linux/Unix/BSD). These give you a best-practice, widely-used setup with an isolated Python and a well-documented buildout. This template is here for older versions of Plone and for experts who explicitly want a raw, non-installer-based installation.
Target audience
In this how-to, we will install Plone using buildout. This may be slightly more difficult than the Unified Installer (which also uses buildout under the hood), and therefore does not target the complete beginner.
It is intended for people who are considering to install Plone on a Debian/Ubuntu server, or possibly another Linux distribution. It might also serve a purpose in the situation where a Unified Installer is not yet available for a specific release.
However, Ubuntu users of all levels of experience should be able to use this how-to to get a quick start with Plone.
Application to other Linux distributions
This document is Ubuntu-specific in the sense that it gives the fastest way to install the required system libraries and Python modules (PIL). The rest will also apply to other Linux distributions.
Ubuntu releases
This how-to was originally created for Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope), and has been updated for Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). It will be modified to continuously reflect the latest release of Ubuntu.
Plone releases
This how-to was originally created for Plone 3.3, and currently targets Plone 3.3.3. It will be modified to continuously reflect the latest release of Plone, and best practices for installing it.
Installing Plone 3 on Ubuntu
For easy usage, the main part of this how-to comes as a shell script:
#!/bin/bash
# install_plone_3_on_ubuntu.sh
#
# A quickstart guide to install Plone 3 on your Ubuntu system.
# Plone <4 only works with Python 2.4.
# 1a) On Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) and 9.10 (Karmic):
#sudo apt-get install python2.4
# 1b) On Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid):
wget
tar -xzf Python-2.4.6.tgz
cd Python-2.4.6/
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd
# 2a) Get setuptools / easy_install for python 2.4
#wget
#sudo python2.4 ez_setup.py -U setuptools
#
# 2b) As an alternative to Setuptools, you may want to consider using
# Distribute () instead.
# The Plone community nowadays tends to use Distribute.
wget
sudo python2.4 distribute_setup.py
# 3) Get ZopeSkel paster scripts
sudo easy_install-2.4 ZopeSkel
# 4.1) Create a buildout.
PLONEDIR='myplonebuildout'
paster create -t plone3_buildout $PLONEDIR plone_version=3.3.3 zope2_install='' plone_products_install='' zope_user=admin zope_password=admin http_port=8080 debug_mode=off verbose_security=off
# See for available releases.
# You might also do
# paster create -t plone3_buildout
# to get a dialog prompting you for the variables.
cd $PLONEDIR
# Run bootstrap, this will create the bin/ directory
python2.4 bootstrap.py
#
# 4.2) Install header files
# You need to have python header files installed in order to build Zope.
sudo apt-get install python2.4-dev
#
# We may need these header files to build PIL (see below).
# Without the header files, you might see this after running buildout:
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# *** TKINTER support not available
# *** JPEG support not available
# --- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support ok
# *** FREETYPE2 support not available
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# This means you'll get errors like these for uploaded JPEG images:
# IOError: decoder jpeg not available
# and you won't be able to see previews of these images, or modify them.
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libfreetype6-dev
# Now you'll see
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# *** TKINTER support not available
# --- JPEG support ok
# --- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support ok
# --- FREETYPE2 support ok
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# 4.3) Run buildout.
./bin/buildout
# (See )
# 5a) For running the code, we need the Python imaging module (PIL), which is
# no longer packaged for Python 2.4 since Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope).
wget
sudo easy_install-2.4 PILwoTk-1.1.6.4.tar.gz
#
# 5b) As an alternative, you may also do as Alex Clarke suggests on
# ?p=31, and add this to your buildout.cfg:
# [buildout]
# find-links +=
# find-links =
# [instance]
# eggs +=
# PILwoTk
# This means you don't have to install PILwoTk system-wide, which is nice.
# However, you still have to install the header files on your system!
# 6) Start Plone!
