Unpack the CMFCore sdist tarball, e.g.:

 $ cd /tmp
 $ wget \

http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/P/Products.CMFCore/Products.CMFCore-2.2.4.tar.gz
 $ cd /usr/local
 $ sudo tar xzf /tmp/Products.CMFCore-2.2.4.tar.gz

and then add the unpacked directory to the 'products' section of your
instance's 'zope.conf', e.g.:

 $ grep "^products" /usr/local/Zopeish/etc/zope.conf
 products /usr/local/Products.CMFCore-2.2.4/

You can repeat the 'products' bit to add other products.

I recommend using 'virtualenv', which gives you a "sandboxed"
environment for installing "non-system" packages.
