Follow these steps to install the PeerPlugin for TWiki:

2. Do PeerReviewDbiDbdSetUp
3. Unzip the PeerPlugin.zip file in your twiki installation directory
4. Add Plugins.PeerPlugin to the ACTIVEPLUGINS variable of your TWikiPreferences or WebPreferences (not strictly necessary as the plugin should now be detected automatically)

   • my $dataBase = "dbi:mysql:Peer";

6. Edit the TWiki.TWikiPreferences, TWiki.WebPreferences and the WebPreferences topic in each web as shown below. (Or follow the instructions in PeerReviewExamples to modify any skin).
