There are a few things you need to do to install cfTrigger to your computer. However, they are very straight forward. Below is a step by step guide to do so.

Please note that the paths referenced in this guide are for default Coldfusion installation on Windows. Adjust the paths to suit your OS and settings.

Install on Adobe Coldfusion

1. After downloading cfTrigger, extract it into a folder called cftrigger (do not include the version number and make sure you write it in all lowercase as some operating systems such as unix are case-sensitive) sitting directly under the root folder of you web server at C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot
2. Login to your Coldfusion admin area at http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
3. Add in a mapping for cftrigger. From admin page, go to Server Settings > Mappings, add new mapping with Logical Path=/cft and Directory Path=C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\cftrigger\system\

Install on Railo

1. After downloading cfTrigger, extract it into a folder called cftrigger (do not include the version number and make sure you write it in all lowercase as some operating systems such as unix are case-sensitive) sitting directly under the root folder of you web server at C:\Program Files\Railo\webapps\ROOT
