Guide to installing SocietasPro.

System requirements

• PHP (version 5.3 or above)
• MySQL
• Apache

Download and configure

Start by downloading the latest version of SocietasPro and uncompressing it. You should see a directory structure containing a number of different folders such as application and vendors. These need to be placed on your web server so that the the web server points to the main directory.

Next, you need to configure your database connection. Go into the directory named "personalisation" and make a copy of config.sample.php, re-naming it to config.php. Here you need to enter your database information. You should also make the cache directory writable by the web server.

Installer script

Open up your-url/install/ in your web browser. This will present you with the install wizard. The first page will perform a system requirements check, ensuring that you have everything you need to run SocietasPro. If anything comes back as fail, you will need to fix this (if you're on shared hosting, speak to your web host). Anything that comes back as warning, will still work, but is a recommendation to ensure optimum performance and security.

The second screen will ask you to enter a few details, such as the group name and create your administrator account. Enter these details and then proceed to the next step which will perform the installation. Once this step has been completed, SocietasPro is installed on your system!

## Cleaning up Once you have successfully installed SocietasPro, you should delete the install directory.
