1.  {!download-python-bindings.md!}

1.  {!change-zulip-config-file-indented.md!}

1.  Also, change the following lines:

    ```
    STREAM_FOR_NOTIFICATIONS = "trac"
    TRAC_BASE_TICKET_URL = "https://trac.example.com/ticket"
    ```

1.  Set `STREAM_FOR_NOTIFICATIONS` to the name of the stream
    you'd like the notifications to be sent to.

1.  Copy `integrations/trac/zulip_trac.py` and
    `integrations/trac/zulip_trac_config.py` into your Trac installation’s
    `plugins/` subdirectory. Once you’ve done that, edit your Trac
    installation’s `conf/trac.ini` to add `zulip_trac` to the
    `[components]` section, as follows:

    ```
    [components]
    zulip_trac = enabled
    ```

1.  You may then need to restart Trac (or Apache) so that Trac will load
    our plugin.

1.  When people open new tickets (or edit existing tickets), notifications
    will be sent to the stream `trac` (or whatever you
    configured above) with a topic that matches the ticket name.

### Additional trac configuration

After using the plugin for a while, you may want to customize which
changes to tickets result in a Zulip notification using the
`TRAC_NOTIFY_FIELDS` setting in `zulip_trac_config.py`.
