Extract the moregroupware archive (.tar or .zip) to the desired location.

Give the webserver write permission to the moregw folder and the module subfolders.

Create a database on your database server and remember the name... :) Create a database user to use with moregroupware (for added security DO NOT use the root user!). Give the database user you want to use the rights to CREATE and DROP tables on the database you just created. To upgrade an existing moregroupware-database please see the appendix for upgrade instructions.

Point your browser to /setup/index.php in your moregroupware folder. For example http://yourdomain.com/moregroupware/setup/index.php Follow these instructions during the installation.

After installation log into the system by calling the index page, for example http://yourdomain.com/moregroupware/ with login "admin" and password "admin". You should change the admin password as soon as possible, because it's the default for all new installations. Thus it represents a security risk!

You may remove the DROP right on your database user now (it is only needed to check for CREATE right during setup). Leave the CREATE right in place! And you should remove the write permission to the moregroupware folder. Only write permissions to the template and module cache folders are needed from now on.
