Installation steps

1. Unzip the file

2. Upload the file to the hosting root or folder

3. Create a MySQL database using phpmyadmin or otherwise

4. In the unzip folder, locate the SQL dump file called mysql-dump-with dummy-data.sql.

5. Import this SQL dump to the database created (This database contains some sample data which you can delete later)

6. Enter the database connectivity details as follows:

Find “ConnectionManager.php” in connections folder and find below blocks of code (line 254-258):

$data[“connInfo”][0] = “database_host_name”;
$data[“connInfo”][1] = “database_user_name”;
$data[“connInfo”][2] = “database_user_password”;
$data[“connInfo”][3] = “database_port_number”;
$data[“connInfo”][4] = “database_name”;
Update your database connectivity details above.

Default values for database port & host name as follows:

database_host_name = localhost

database_port_number = 3306

If above default details do not work, contact your hosting provider for the same.
