Step 5: Run the Install Wizard

The application includes a built-in install wizard that handles all configuration automatically. After uploading files and installing dependencies, visit your domain in a browser:

yourdomain.com/install

Info: The install wizard replaces the manual steps of editing .env, running migrations, and creating the first user. If the wizard does not load, ensure npm run build completed successfully and the .env file exists (even if empty).

Wizard Steps

1. System Requirements — Checks PHP version (8.3+), required extensions, file permissions, and .env file presence. Fix any failing checks before proceeding.
2. License Key — Enter your license key. The wizard validates it before continuing.
3. Server Configuration — Enter your application URL (e.g., yourdomain.com).
4. Database Setup — Enter your MySQL credentials (host, port, database name, username, password). The wizard tests the connection before proceeding.
5. Admin Account — Create the first Super Admin by providing an email and password (minimum 8 characters).
6. Installation — The wizard writes the .env file, runs migrations, seeds the database, creates the admin user, activates the license, and locks the wizard.

After completion, click Go to Login and sign in with your admin credentials.

Warning: The install wizard can only be run once. After successful completion, the installation route is permanently locked to secure your system and prevent unauthorized configuration changes.
