58<h1>Installation Instructions</h1>

60<p>CodeIgniter is installed in four steps:</p>
61
62<ol>
63<li>Unzip the package.</li>
64<li>Upload the CodeIgniter folders and files to your server. Normally the index.php file will be at your root.</li>
65<li>Open the <dfn>application/config/config.php</dfn> file with a text editor and set your base URL. If you intend to use encryption or sessions, set your encryption key.</li>
66<li>If you intend to use a database, open the <dfn>application/config/database.php</dfn> file with a text editor and set your database settings.</li>
67</ol>
68
69<p>If you wish to increase security by hiding the location of your CodeIgniter files you can rename the <dfn>system</dfn> folder
70to something more private. If you do rename it, you must open your main <kbd>index.php</kbd> file and set the <samp>$system_folder</samp>
71variable at the top of the page with the new name you've chosen.</p>
72
73<p>That's it!</p>
