==Original Directions==
Here are the confusing original directions at: http://www.djini.de/software/commonist/
*adding a wiki
*this works with the webstart version and the zipfile version.

*unpack lib/mwapi.jar from the unpacked binary zip into a new directory
*look for commons.family and commons.site in this directory
*create a directory $HOME/.commonist/family
*copy commons.family to $HOME/.commonist/family/NAME.family
*copy commons.site to $HOME/.commonist/family/NAME.site
*adapt these two files.

==Better Instructions==
These directions should be easier for everyone to understand.

#Download the commonist zip file from http://djini.de/software/commonist/ and unpack it. In this example it is running on my desktop (on Winodws XP)
C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\Desktop\commonist-0.3.19\commonist-0.3.19
#Run Commonist to create the ".commonist" folder for later
##Open the "bin" folder
##Run "commonist.bat"
##Close Commonist
##Go up one directory (out of "bin" folder)
#Find the file: '''mwapi.jar''' located in the folder lib
C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\Desktop\commonist-0.3.19\commonist-0.3.19\lib\mwapi.jar
#Unpack this file using winrar or winzip into a new folder
#Open mwapi\net\psammead\mwapi\config
C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\Desktop\commonist-0.3.19\commonist-0.3.19\lib\mwapi\net\psammead\mwapi\config
#Copy commons.family and commons.site (printed below)
#Go to your $HOME directory. In my case (Windows XP with username of "Michael"):
C:\Documents and Settings\Michael
#There should be a folder named ".commonist". If not, make it. In Windows this is difficult to do. That is why we ran Commonist above.
#Make a directory named "family"
C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\.commonist\family
#Paste the 2 files in here
#Rename them to fit your wiki (In my case, my wiki is "theplaz" and lives at http://theplaz.com/wiki/index.php
#Open up "theplaz.site" for editing. Note you will need an editor which supports editing files with weird extensions and Unix line breaks. [http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/ Notepad++] works.
#Edit the config file. Set "family" and the options in the "network" settings. Leave lang alone. You will have to change nameSpace 4 and 5 to match the name of the project.
#In theplaz.family, change the name and shortcut to match what you set in theplaz.site.
#Save and close both files.
#Run commonist
#Enjoy uploading!
