Derek Allardd2df9bc2007-04-15 17:41:17 +000065<p>CodeIgniter is installed in four steps:</p>
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +000066
67<ol>
68<li>Unzip the package.</li>
Derek Allardd2df9bc2007-04-15 17:41:17 +000069<li>Upload the CodeIgniter folders and files to your server. Normally the index.php file will be at your root.</li>
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +000070<li>Open the <dfn>application/config/config.php</dfn> file with a text editor and set your base URL.</li>
71<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>
72</ol>
73
Derek Allardd2df9bc2007-04-15 17:41:17 +000074<p>If you wish to increase security by hiding the location of your CodeIgniter files you can rename the <dfn>system</dfn> folder
admine334c472006-10-21 19:44:22 +000075to 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>
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +000076variable at the top of the page with the new name you've chosen.</p>
77
78<p>That's it!</p>
79
Derek Allardd2df9bc2007-04-15 17:41:17 +000080<p>If you're new to CodeIgniter, please read the <a href="../general/index.html">Getting Started</a> section of the User Guide to begin learning how
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +000081to build dynamic PHP applications. Enjoy!</p>
