Add Files to Local Server Folder
Next, add the project files to your local server's root folder (e.g., htdocs for XAMPP, www for WAMP). You can do this by copying the files directly or by cloning the repository if you have Git installed. Make sure to place the files in a subdirectory if you want to access it via http://localhost/your-folder.
Download Script
Download the latest version of the script from the official website.
Extract the downloaded ZIP file
Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file to a folder on your local machine. You can use built-in extraction tools or third-party software like WinRAR or 7-Zip.

You will see the requirements page. If your server meets the requirements, you will see a green tick mark. If not, you will see a red cross mark. You need to fix the issues before proceeding.

Also check the database host and port. You will see a warning about demo data installation. If you want to setup demo data select demo install, or if you want a fresh install select fresh install. Then click Setup Database.

When you click the Setup Database button, the system will check the database connection and attempt to set up the database. If existing data or tables are found, a warning message will appear. In that case, you can either create a new database or reset the current one. To reset the existing database, select the Yes, I want to clear the database checkbox. If the database is empty, it will proceed to create the necessary tables and insert either demo or fresh data, based on your selection.

After the database setup is complete, you will be redirected to Account Setup page. Enter your data and create a super admin for your site.
App Configuration
