= How to set up Talos for testing at home =
 
== Prerequisites ==
# [http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/ Python 2.5]
# [http://pyyaml.org/ Pyyaml]
# [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018 PyWin32 Extensions] (if this is to be run on a windows box)
# [http://people.mozilla.org/~anodelman/standaloneV1_6.zip Standalone V1.6]
# [http://stage.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ Nightly firefox builds] (grab the appropriate type for your OS)
 
[dmandelin] When I installed PyWin32 the installer put things in my Windows installation of Python, not my mozilla-build copy. I copied the PyWin32 files from the one site-packages directory to the other and it worked.
 
== Set Up ==
# unzip standaloneV1_5.zip
# unzip/install your nightly firefox build
# in the talos directory
#* edit sample.config, change the path to firefox to be the appropriate path to the firefox executable of the nightly build that you just installed
#** on linux/mac use path to 'firefox' not 'firefox-bin'
 
== Testing ==
# in the talos directory run 'python run_tests.py sample.config'
#* for more ouput run 'python run_tests.py --noisy sample.config'
#* for debug output run 'python run_tests.py --debug sample.config'
 
== Results ==
# results from all the tests should be found in talos/output directory.
 
(On a MacBook Pro, the default test configuration takes about 35 minutes to run with a nightly Firefox 3 build.)
