Setup Your PC DirectoriesIn your Users folder, create three directories within the RMC sub-folder:• Library-zipped• Published-zipped• Skins/[skin name]

The skin directory can be created when unzipping the skin zip file. (Unzipping may create two directories with same name, one below the other. Bring the second one up)

Each directory is discussed on subsequent slides

Within RMC, Set Preference to Link Name with Presentation Name

Library-zipped Folder• This directory contains the archive of method libraries that are not managed

by Subversion (most people will not need this directory)• The notation applies all method libraries

Published-zipped Folder

Download the Recent Skin file from the CMAM

This skin will be used in the next step

Skins Folder

• Unzip [skin name].zip as a folder into the “RMC/Skins” folder

• Unzipping may create two directories with same name, one below the other. Rename the top one, bring the second one up level, and then delete the first one)

• This directory is selected when publishing a website

• (Later there may be a version of the skin for iPads)
