#clone kwf-newsletter-demo
git clone git://github.com/vivid-planet/kwf-newsletter-demo.git
cd kwf-newsletter-demo
 
#create directory for file uploads
mkdir uploads
 
#set permissions
chmod a+w uploads cache temp log log/* cache/*
 
#clone koala framework
git clone git://github.com/vivid-planet/koala-framework.git kwf-lib
 
#clone required libraries
git clone git://github.com/vivid-planet/library.git library
 
#set path to libraries
echo "library/zend/%version%" > kwf-lib/include_path
 
#set database connection
echo "[production]" > config.local.ini
echo "database.web.host = localhost" >> config.local.ini
echo "database.web.username = yourdbusername" >> config.local.ini
echo "database.web.password = yourdbpassword" >> config.local.ini
echo "database.web.dbname = yourdbname" >> config.local.ini
 
#setup: create initial database structure
php bootstrap.php setup

Now open the backend http://kwf-newsletter-demo.local/admin and login with username demo(kwfat)koala-framework(kwfdot)org password: demo

To actually send out the newsletter you need the following cronjob being executed every minute:
