Step 1

Download the application package from CodeCanyon, upload it to your server and unzip all files to the desired location on your web server.

Note for VPS, VDS, dedicated server users: please ensure that web server (usually www-data user) has WRITE permissions to these folders: app/data/history, config, db/seeds, logs, tmp.

Step 2

Create a MySQL (or MariaDB) database on your server, as well as a database user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.

Step 3

Run the app installation script by accessing the URL in a web browser. This should be the URL where you uploaded the app files. If you installed the app in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/ If you installed the app in its own subdirectory called “coincompare”, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/coincompare/

If everything is done right you should see the installation web page.

Step 4

Input database credentials, click “Next” button.

Step 5

Input admin user email and password, click “Next” button.

Step 6

Specify the default currency (USD, EUR, GBP etc), create a FREE openexchangerates.org API key and input it in the form, click “Next” button.
