After downloading the source code, you will need to do some initial configuration.
##Settings File##
The file include/default.settings.php will need to be updated to reflect the specifics of your installation. Search for the word UPDATE to locate the lines that need to be changed. This includes adding your database username and password.
##Database##
Configure the database username and password in your *.settings.php file. If you can't create your own file, you will have to edit the default.settings.php file directly, just make sure not to commit that file back to the repository.
Install the database tables from the scripts/sql/schema.sql file provided. After the tables are created, run the scripts/sql/initdata.sql file to insert some default data.
##Filesystem##
If it doesn't already exist, create a cache
folder at the top level directory for the site, next to the include
and scripts
folders, and make it writable by apache.
