DownloadsPlugin depends on WebAdminPlugin since many configuration options are avaiable only on apropriate WebAdminPlugin's pages. Support for TagsPlugin is planned too.
Installation
After installing plugin's egg you can set up few configuration variables in trac.ini. Their default values are displayed bellow:
[downloads] title = Downloads path = /var/lib/trac/downloads ext = zip gz bz2 rar visible_fields = id file description size time count author tags component version architecture platform type # Currently not implemented.
Variable title sets text of main navigation bar button. path is location where uploaded downloads are stored. It has to be accesible for writing to web server. Setting ext variable restricts allowed extensions of uploaded files. Finally visibled_field variable controls appearance of downloads table columns in Downloads sections.
If you run Trac in environment which needs to enable plugins explicitly put in trac.ini these lines:
[components] tracdownloads.api.DownloadsApi = enabled tracdownloads.admin.DownloadsWebAdmin = enabled tracdownloads.core.DownloadsCore = enabled tracdownloads.init.DownloadsInit = enabled tracdownloads.timeline.DownloadsTimeline = enabled tracdownloads.wiki.DownloadsWiki = enabled
The next step is to upgrade your environment:
# trac-admin <path_to_environment> upgrade

DownloadsPlugin defines two permissions DOWNLOADS_VIEW for normal users and DOWNLOADS_ADMIN for people who uploads and administrates downloads.
You can grant them using these commands:
# trac-admin <path_to_environment> permission add <user> DOWNLOADS_VIEW # trac-admin <path_to_environment> permission add <user> DOWNLOADS_ADMIN
