Hello everybody!

My name is Maria and I am a newbie in CMS's, open source and websites.

I am trying to do a WRE install and I am using Winwows XP.

As I understand there are different WRE versions depending on platforms, and there is one for windows but also one platform independent? This platform independent type, is that one adjusted for both windows, linux and others? And does that mean that you can both install and manage content from all these OS's?

I am doing this in helping a Swedish organisation which uses a web host called Loopia. I do not know what services or applications they can provide (but could of course look it up), but  it is adjusted for both databases/mysql, phplanguage and more although I don't know how we will be able to use that while using webGUI.

I have now downloaded wre-0.8.3-source.tar.gz, as I understand the platform independent version.

I have been reading the WRE install help but it's a lot greek to me- I understand it as if these instructions

"1. Unpack the archive.

        mkdir /data
        cd /data
        tar xvfz /path/to/wre-x.x.x-osname.tar.gz"

...are  meant to be commands in some special protocol or language. Cause I suppose it isn't names of the files in the archive?

Could someone of you be able to help mne further?

Is there maybe somewhere a guide that is adjusted for not as experienced people?

Thanks in advance!

Regards, Maria
