The installation of doctrine is very easy. Just get the latest revision of Doctrine from http://doctrine.pengus.net/svn/trunk. You need a SVN(Subversion) client for downloading Doctrine. To check out Doctrine using the **svn** command line tool in the current directory use: svn co http://doctrine.pengus.net/svn/trunk . Do check out using a GUI based tool like [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ TortoiseSVN] simply use the http://doctrine.pengus.net/svn/trunk in the the path field. No username or password is neccesary.
