The Plone Unified Installer is a source-installation kit that installs Plone and its dependencies from source on most Unix-like platforms. The kit includes Plone and Zope and will download components like Python if needed. Python is installed in a way that will not change or interfere with your system Python.
Important: Back up your existing Plone site prior to running the installer or running buildout to update.
