Installing a Plone buildout on Ubuntu (用Buildout安装Plone 转自Plone.org)

Target audience

In this how-to, we will install Plone Using buildout. This may be slightly more difficult than the Unified Installer (which also uses buildout under the hood), and therefore does not target the complete beginner. 

It is intended for people who are considering to install Plone on a Debian/Ubuntu server, or possibly another Linux distribution. It might also serve a purpose in the situation where a Unified Installer is not yet available for a specific release.

However, Ubuntu users of all levels of experience should be able to use this how-to to get a quick start with Plone.
