Installing Third-Party Editor Software

Complete this procedure to configure an interface between Contenta and a third-party editor.

About this task

See the Platform Requirements documentation for the required versions of the supported editor software.

Procedure

  1. Install the editor software using the manufacturer’s documentation.
  2. Run the editor to verify the installation and to create an initial registry entry.
  3. Install Contenta Explorer.

    The Contenta installation program searches for the editor software. If it is found, the installation program updates the Contenta registry file to include the directory path for the software.

    If you install or upgrade your editor software after installing Contenta, see the Configuring Editor Software that is Installed after Contenta is Installed topic.

    After Contenta is installed, you can create Contenta tools that use the editors to access editable objects in the database.

    See the SDL Contenta Administraton topics for information about creating tools in Contenta.
