Installation

You could read the boring instructions, or watch a kick-ass 5 minute video showing exactly how it's done. The installation actually only takes 1.47 seconds, but this is a "Quick Start" too.

Text instructions

1.) Download PyroCMS and extract the files.

2.) Upload the files to your web-server.

3.) Apply the following file permissions (Mac/Linux/BSD/etc only):

cd /home/pyrocms/public_html/

chmod 777 codeigniter/cache
chmod 777 codeigniter/logs
chmod -R 777 application/cache
chmod 666 application/config/config.php
chmod 666 application/config/database.php
chmod -R 777 application/uploads
chmod -R 777 application/assets/img/photos

4.) Run the installer, this can be done by navigating to http://www.yoursite.com/installer. This will set up the database and create your config files.

Note: If this fails for any reason, run the SQL manually from installer/sql/ and manually edit application/config/config.php & application/config/database.php.

5.) Remove the installer directory.

6.) Go to your web root, login as "demo@example.com" with the password "password" and make yourself an admin user account.

7.) Log into your new account and delete demo@example.com.
