We finally have a tutorial for absolute Nvu newbees. It will be useful for anyone who wants to start designing web pages, i.e. even for those who are starting from ab-initio. So, fire-up your version of Nvu and download the Nvu tutorial from here (or official extensions repository may not be up-to-date).

Installation Instructions

Download the .xpi from one of the above links. After clicking on the .xpi link, do Save As rather than automatically open it with Firefox (assuming you are using Firefox for downloading). Or just right-click on the link for the .xpi, select Save As and save to a convenient location on your computer.

After downloading, go to your Nvu window and click on Tools > Extensions. This will open the Extension Manager(EM). In the EM, click on Install and then select the .xpi file from the file browser which will open. Clicking OK in the file browser will start the installation process. Follow the instructions and reply appropriately for any prompts by the extension installation wizard.

You will have to restart Nvu to make the changes final and be able to start using the extensions.

Updating Procedure

Nvu Tutorial extension is constantly being reviewed and updated to give new users a better experience while learning to use Nvu. Automatic update for extensions does not work right now because there is no official repository for Nvu which serves the update notices too. However, the manual update function works perfectly. To update just click on Tools > Extensions, right click on "Nvu Tutorial" in the Extension Manager window and select "Update". Follow directions to update the extension. You may have to restart Nvu to be able to use the latest features of an extension after an update.

Mandrake Users can install nvu-tutorial-0.1 by using the official rpm.
