Step 1-1 - Component Installer
From Jomres v4 manual
New for 13 July 2009
The Jomres Component installer is essentially a wrapper for the Step 1 - Web Installer (recommended) process.
Jomres is CMS agnostic and it's too large to be uploaded to most installations, because by default PHP upload limits are typically 2 or 3mb. Jomres is, zipped up, in excess of 3.5mb, so we use the web installation method where the core Jomres files are copied from a remote server and unzipped locally.
However, it seems that the Joomla component installer method is so ingrained into the Joomla user's psyche that many folks only turn to the installation guide when they find that Jomres doesn't install via Joomla.
To mitigate this extra layer of frustration I'm going to trial a semi-new method of installation where we will use Joomla to upload and copy jomres_webinstall.php to the root of the Joomla installation through a Joomla installation and trigger it in install.jomres.php.
Use the Joomla installer as you would to install any component/module/plugin. After the upload process is complete jomres_webinstall.php should be run automatically, however if there are permission problems with moving the file to the root of the Joomla site then you will be prompted to manually copy jomres_webinstall.php to the indicated path then run it manually.
