This page describes how to install and upgrade TubePress Pro, both in a standalone PHP environment and a WordPress environment.

• PHP 5.0.2+
• PHP DOM extension (enabled by default in PHP)
• jQuery 1.6+ (included in distribution)
• PHP mbstring extension (only if using standalone PHP)
• WordPress 2.2.0+ (only if using WordPress)

TubePress Pro can only be downloaded by active TubePress Pro members from the members area on tubepress.org. It's distributed as a zip file named tubepress_pro_x_y_z, where x y and z are the major, minor, and micro version numbers of the release.

1. Unzip the file you just downloaded (tubepress_pro_x_y_z.zip). It will expand into a directory named tubepress_pro_x_y_z.
2. Upload the entire tubepress_pro_x_y_z directory to your web server in a place that's web accessible.
3. Make a note of the following two items, which you'll need when invoking TubePress:
   
   
   1. the full path of this directory on your web server's filesystem (e.g. /var/www/html/myblog.com/lib/tubepress_pro_x_y_z)
   2. the web-accessible URL to reach this directory (e.g. http://myblog.com/lib/tubepress_pro_x_y_z)
      
      
4. Vimeo users only. Perform the one-time setup of your Vimeo API key and secret as described in the appendix.
5. Optional. Install ShadowBox and JW FLV Media Player support. Installation instructions for these libraries can be found in the appendix.

1. Repeat the TubePress Pro installation procedure with the latest copy of TubePress Pro.
2. Optional. Copy over the content directory from your old TubePress installation (tubepress/content). This will preserve your custom themes.
3. In the PHP files where you use TubePress Pro, edit $tubepress_base_url and the inclusion of TubePressPro.class.php to point to your new install location.
