<p class="note">
For Windows 2000/XP systems, you need Administrator privileges to
install SeaMonkey. If you see an "Error 5" message during installation,
make sure you're running the installation with Administrator privileges.
</p>
<p>
To install SeaMonkey by downloading the SeaMonkey installer, follow these steps:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Click the link to <tt>seamonkey-2.xx.en-US.win32.installer.exe</tt> (or
similar file name) on the site you're downloading SeaMonkey from to
download the installer file to your machine.</li>
<li>Navigate to where you downloaded the file and double-click the
installer file icon on your machine to begin the Setup program.</li>
<li>Follow the on-screen instructions in the setup program. The program
starts automatically the first time.</li>
</ol>
<p>
To install SeaMonkey by downloading the .zip file and installing manually,
follow these steps:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Click the link to <tt>seamonkey-2.xx.en-US.win32.zip</tt> (or similar file
name) on the site you're downloading SeaMonkey from to download the
.zip file to your machine.</li>
<li>Navigate to where you downloaded the file and double-click the
compressed file.
<p class="note">
This step assumes you already have a recent version of WinZip
(or a similar zip tool) installed, and that you know how to use it.
</p>
</li>
<li>Extract the .zip file to a directory such as
<tt>C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey</tt>.</li>
<li>To start SeaMonkey, navigate to the directory you extracted
SeaMonkey to and double-click the <tt>seamonkey.exe</tt> icon.</li>

To install SeaMonkey, follow these steps:

<li>Drag the SeaMonkey application icon to the Applications folder</li>

There is no installer available, but just extracting the tar.bz2
to the default directory (usually <tt>/usr/local/seamonkey</tt>) achieves the
same result as an installer would.
</p>
<p>
To install SeaMonkey by downloading the tar.bz2 file:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Create a directory named "seamonkey" (<tt>mkdir seamonkey</tt>) and change
to that directory (cd seamonkey).</li>
<li>Click the link on the site you're downloading SeaMonkey from to
download the package (seamonkey*.tar.bz2) file into the seamonkey
directory.</li>
<li>Change to the seamonkey directory (cd seamonkey) and decompress the
file with the following command:
<p><tt>tar jxvf seamonkey*.tar.bz2</tt></p>
This creates a "seamonkey" directory under your seamonkey directory.</li>
<li>Change to the seamonkey directory (<tt>cd seamonkey</tt>).</li>
<li>Run SeaMonkey with the following run script:
<p><tt>./seamonkey</tt></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>
To hook up SeaMonkey complete with icon to the GNOME Panel,
follow these steps:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Click the GNOME Main Menu button, open the Panel menu, and then open
the Add to Panel submenu and choose Launcher.</li>
<li>Right-click the icon for SeaMonkey on the Panel and enter the
following command:
<p><tt>directory_name./seamonkey</tt></p>
where <tt>directory_name</tt> is the name of the directory you downloaded
SeaMonkey to. For example, the default directory that SeaMonkey
suggests is <tt>/usr/local/seamonkey</tt>.</li>
<li>Type in a name for the icon, and type in a comment if you wish.</li>
<li>Click the icon button and type in the following as the icon's location:
<p><tt>directory_name/chrome/icons/default/default.xpm</tt></p>
where, again, <tt>directory_name</tt> is the directory where you installed
SeaMonkey. For example, using the default directory
<tt>/usr/local/seamonkey</tt> results in an icon location of
<tt>/usr/local/seamonkey/chrome/icons/default/default.xpm</tt>.
