    - If you plan to use another database than SQLite, installing Pysqlite is of course not needed.

    - You don't necessarily need Subversion. You can use Trac with other [VersioningSystemBackend versioning system backends] or none at all.
    - If you need Subversion, the above links should be fine, '''unless''' you need to use Trac within Apache 2.2. In that case you need [http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=8100&expandFolder=8100&folderID=91 Apache 2.2 compatible binaries]. But beware, this is a tricky install, as it seems that there exist various incompatibilities between the various released binaries (in particular, see ticket:6739#comment:9).
    - Try [http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/43470/svn-python-1.5.2.win32-py2.5.exe svn-python-1.5.2.win32-py2.5.exe] if you have Subversion 1.5 and see the error like "Expected FS format '2'; found format '3'", 160043
+   - The tigris.org-supplied installer for svn 1.5.1 bindings worked like a charm.  I have not tried 1.5.3, I jumped right to 1.5.4.  tigris.org so far (as of 11-Nov-2008) has only supplied [http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/44104/svn-win32-1.5.4_py25.zip a .ZIP file] for the bindings.  The ZIP file's folders contain .DLLs which, I have read, need to be renamed to .PYD files in order to be loaded.  However, even after renaming, Trac can't find Subversion. '''This sucks.'''

  3. ''Clearsilver'' You only need Clearsilver if you're using a plugin that was not yet ported to Genshi.

 On the next window, the installer shows you installation progress as files are written to the target locations. When the processing is complete, click Finish. If you check the contents of c:\python24\Lib\site-packages\ directory, you should see the directory '''pysqlite2''', which contains the database scripts.

 '''Note:''' the "-Z" option is necessary when installing Subversion so that it is "unzipped".  Trac will not be able to access Subversion if it is zipped.
