After you have download the plugin from geeklog.net

1. As one of your site's Root users
* visit {site_url}/admin/plugins.php
* Upload the plugin archive (.zip) : Select it on your HD and press Upload.

2. If the installation completed successfully you can skip to the next step.
Otherwise, check the geeklog error.log for errors.
# vi <geeklog_dir>/logs/error.log

3. If needed set the necessary permissions to <geeklog_dir>/paypal/files/paypal_downloads.log
# chmod 666 <geeklog_dir>/paypal/files/paypal_downloads.log

4. Modify paypal's config.php to reflect your site and suite your needs. (In
the command below, vi can be replaced with any editor.)
# vi <geeklog_dir>/plugins/paypal/config.php

* Take special note of the $_CONF['paypal']['paypalURL'] variable. It should
be www.sandbox.paypal.com for testing on paypal's development site. For
live web sites it should point to www.paypal.com.

5. Update the security settings. By default the paypal plugin will grant
administrative rights to the plugin to the Root Group. Shopping (purchasing)
privileges will be granted to the "Logged-In Users" group. Viewing privileges
will be granted to the "All Useres" group. By adding users or groups as
members of the "Paypal Admin" or "Paypal Users" or "Paypal Viewers" group you
can control who has administrative, shopping, and viewing privileges.
* visit {site_url}/admin/user.php
* visit {site_url}/admin/group.php--- Support and French community [ www.geeklog.fr ]

Looks good. This is a plugin that Geeklog has needed for a while now.
