Installation Guide

1. Database Connection

  1. Log in to your cPanel and create a new database. Once created, open phpMyAdmin and import each .sql file from the 'sql' folder into the newly created database one by one.
  2. Open the .env file located in the main folder. Update all fields with your correct information, then save the file.

You'll need to obtain API keys from the following platforms:

1 | Google reCAPTCHA(v3): https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create

🔒 Important: After editing the .env file, keep it secure. Never share it publicly as it contains sensitive information such as API keys, database credentials, and secret tokens.

2. Uploading Files to Your Server

  1. Upload all files from the main folder to your server using either FTP or cPanel File Manager. Make sure to maintain the original folder structure.
