you could save some typing by either updating your $PATH environment variable, or adding an alias to drush - both can be done in your .bashrc file (a hidden file in your home directory - log out and back in for the file to be re-read):

alias drush="/opt/drush/drush"

-OR-

export PATH="/opt/drush/drush:$PATH"

(obviously, change that path as appropriate)

hope that helps someone :)

You just need to keep the unzipped version of drush on your server, and then run any commands
like
/path/to/drush command-to-run
I do it this way
/opt/drush/drush cache-clear all

Good evening list,

I'm thinking about using drush and after going over the drush page i'm
still having some basic questions about it. I hope somebody can
enlighten me ...

1) my box is an xp sp3, so i need the windows installer to install it
on my pc, correct?
2) i'm on a shared host, do i need (ask the host) to install something on the server
also?

Step 1 and 2 done: ready to use drush?
