Installing openPipeline
- First, put the openPipeline.mel and the openPipeline folder inside your user scripts folder (fig1).
On a PC, this folder will be similar to:
C:/Documents and Settings/USERNAME/My Documents/maya/2008/scripts/
On a Mac:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/2008/scripts/
You can also find this location by typing internalVar -usd in the MEL command line.
Take a note of the location that you place these in, as you will need it later in the setup process.

- Next, open Maya and run the script openPipeline (fig2). Do this by typing openPipeline in the MEL command line.
You may also make a MEL button to perform this action using the icon included. Highlight the text openPipeline and middle-mouse drag it onto a shelf tab.

- The openPipeline setup will now begin, as seen below in (fig 3). You'll only need to set this once, unless you uninstall and
re-install openPipeline.

- You'll now be asked to browse for the location of your scripts folder. As listed in the Product File Setup, you may want to select a new location for your Project File. You can edit these values later if you wish. Press Accept when you have finished setting these paths.

- This is the main Project Manager window. As previously mentioned, you may change the locations of the script and Project File
with the Edit Locations button. Your current projects can be added, removed, and changed in the window on the left. Detailed
information regarding each project will be shown in the grey window on the right.
