Hi all I am a newbie to radiant and I am in the stage where I want to create a first project just to learn how to work with it. So after I successfully installed my first project, I would like to add some extensions to it and I need some help here. I tried using git to get along but it gives me all kind of errors (stuff about not finding the repository and working dirs), also I understand that it needs to be configured somehow. So can anyone explain in few simple steps hot to get it started? Many thanks, Oren ---

Oren, The easiest way to work with extensions is to use Ray – [http://github.com/johnmuhl/radiant-ray-extension/tree/master](http://github.com/johnmuhl/radiant-ray-extension/tree/master). It will allow you to install, upgrade, diable, and several other tasks. The extension page also has very good documentation that should get you more familiar with extensions. That said… To use git, you just cd to the vendor directory in your radiant install. And run “git clone git://site.com/project”. You can obtain the git URL from the homepage of any Github project. ---

Ben, I installed ray with “git clone” but when I try to use it, rake gives me all kinds of errors. You can see some of my attempts below. So could you please explain? from where I should run the rake commands? also, maybe I need my radiant site to be up?

Hi Ben, Okay it works. The problem I had fckeditor was because I tried to install an old version that doesn’t work with 0.7.1 … I successfully installed other extensions. Thanks for your help, Oren
