Install Manager --------------- The Install Manager utility provides a means for adding and removing plugin modules to The SWORD Project software. If there are any modules available local to your computer, they will be displayed from the 'Local' tab in the 'Available' modules tree. If you have modules available on a CD or network drive, you may tell Install Manager the location of these modules by selected the 'Local Path' option from the menu. Remote sources can also be added by selecting the 'Manage Remote Sources' option from the menu. Remote sources are sites out on the internet that make modules available for download. Anyone can provide a remote module source for The SWORD Project. For a list of known sites, see the official SWORD Project page at CrossWire Bible Society's site: http://www.crosswire.org -=+* WARNING *+=- -=+* WARNING *+=- Although Install Manager provides a convenient way for installing and upgrading SWORD components, it also uses a systematic method for accessing sites which gives packet sniffers a target to lock into for singling out users. IF YOU LIVE IN A PERSECUTED COUNTRY AND DO NOT WISH TO RISK DETECTION, YOU SHOULD *NOT* USE INSTALL MANAGER'S REMOTE SOURCE FEATURES. CrossWire Bible Society's Remote Source for SWORD modules can be accessed with the following entry: Site Name: CrossWire Bible Society Site Machine Name: ftp.crosswire.org Repository Directory: /pub/sword/raw/ Many users may have problems with remote source access with Install Manager due to firewall issues. Install Manager uses standard FTP protocal for accessing its remote sources and many network administrators do not allow FTP access thru their firewall. These users will have to use alternative methods for obtaining and installing modules. See the CrossWire Bible Society website for more details on easy module installation without Install Manager.
