These instructions are for windows using Putty
(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html).
Please adapt to your environment.
* Right click where you want the checkout to live
* Click CVS Checkout...
* CVSROOT: :pserver:boogs at mozdev.org:/cvs
* Module: greasemonkey
* Go to revision tab
* Choose branch or head
* Update list...
* select v0_6
* OK
* source is downloaded...
* Start firefox from the command line with the -p flag
* Create a new profile, give it some name you'll remember
* Close firefox
* Go to c:\document and settings\<your username>\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<the profile you just
created>\extensions
* Create a text file called greasemonkey at youngpup.net
* Open the text file in notepad
* The text file should contain the path to the src\ folder in the
source code you just downloaded. So for instance, if you created your
greasemonkey checkout in c:\greasemonkey, then the text file would
contain c:\greasemonkey\src\
* Save the file
* Restart firefox from the command line with the profile in question.
If the profile was called "foo", then the command would be "firefox -p
foo". You can also omit the "foo" and pick the profile from the GUI
when it comes up.
* Go to tools > extensions. You should see Greasemonkey 0.6.4
* Click the monkey in the status. He should disable. Click again. He
should enable.
* Right click the monkey. A menu should come that says: Manage User
Scripts... | no scripts installed! | Enabled
* Navigate to userscripts.org and pick any script.
* Navigate to the source code of the script
* An install bar should popup that says: <Greeting> This is a
Greasemonkey User Script. Click Install to use it.
* Click Install.
* There should be a status animation that says "downloading... <user
script>.user.js" shortly followed by an alert message that says "<user
script>.user.js successfully installed".
* Navigate to a place where there is a link to a user script.
* Right-click on the link.
* Select Install User script...
* Same animation/success dialog thing.
* Navigate to a page where the one or more user scripts should run
* Right click the monkey
* The scripts that should have run should be listed
* Disable one of them by clicking their menu items
* Right click the monkey again
* The item you disabled should still be there, but unchecked
* Refresh
* The script shouldn't have run this time
Let me know if any of this doesn't work for you.
