• Copy the directory "themes" in TRSE/Publish/source/ to the TRSE/Release build directory
• Make a symbolic link called "tutorials from your build directory to point to Publish/tutorials to access tutorial projects from the front page
• Make a symbolic link called "units from your build directory to point to TRSE/Units to access the TRSE library
• Make a symbolic link "project_templates" from your build directory to point to Publish/project_templates in order to access the "New Project" templates
