+= Trac Installation Guide =
+
+The Trac web-based project management tool is implemented as a server
+side cgi-program. Trac is written in the Python programming language
+and store it's data in a sqlite database.
+
+== Dependencies ==
+
+The following dependencies have to be installed:
+
+ * [http://www.python.org/ Python], version >= 2.1.
+ * [http://subversion.tigris.org/ subversion], version >= 0.29.
+ * [http://pysqlite.sf.net/ pysqlite], version >= 0.4.3
+ * [http://clearsilver.net/ ClearSilver], version >= 0.9.3
+ * A CGI-capable webserver (only tested with Apache)
+
+== Installing Trac ==
+
+$ python ./setup.py build
+$ python ./setup.py install
+
+== Initializing the database ==
+
+Trac stores wiki pages, tickes and other information in a sqlite database. 
+Sqlite databases ar just ordinary files on the harddrive, no database server
+is required.
+
+A new trac database can be created like this:
+
+ $ trac_admin /path/to/mydatabase.db initdb
+
+NOTE: The database file have to be located in a directory where the webserver
+user has write permission to both the file and the directory.
+
+This creates a new database using default values. Some settings still need
+to be modified to get your Trac installation up and running. The following
+command will display the trac configuration:
+
+ $ trac_admin /path/to/mydatabase.db config view
+
+Most settings should be okey, but you have to verify that these settings
+are correct:
+ * general.repository_dir. This should be the path to the svn repository.
+ * general.templates_dir. This should be the path to the trac template directory.
+
+A config value is modified like this:
+
+ $ trac_admin /path/to/mydatabase.db config set <name> <value>
+
+== Configuring Apache ==
+
