While adding gnowsys one has to create simlink in the following mannner:

- Change the read write permissions of the Products folder in the following manner:

- Change the ownership of the Products folder to plone:root in the following manner:
''abc@xyz:cd /opt/Plone-2.5.2/zeocluster/'' ''abc@xyz:sudo chown plone:root Products -R''

For emample:
''os.system('cp /opt/'''Plone-2.5.3'''/zeocluster/Products/GNOWSYSArchetypes/Extensions/SCORMTables.txt /tmp/')''The text in bold indicates that one is using Plone-2.5.3, but if one wants to install the platform using Plone-2.5.2
he/she has to replace Plone-2.5.3 with Plone-2.5.2 and it will look something like this:
''os.system('cp /opt/'''Plone-2.5.2'''/zeocluster/Products/GNOWSYSArchetypes/Extensions/SCORMTables.txt /tmp/')''

on the right hand side of the zope management interface
- Next add a plone site say "selftest".After this has been added click on it.Click on the "portal_quickinstaller" next.
It is used to install/uninstall products.We use this to install the product "GNOWSYSArchetypes".Check the checkbox
to the left of "GNOWSYSArchetypes" and click "ADD" and the product is added.
- Click on the plone-site "selftest" to get inside it and then click on the "view" tab placed on the top in the ZMI.
- Change the permissions of the user by clicking on the "security" tab.As of now we are giving the members all the permissions that a manager has.
