Extract the downloaded file. You will have another zip file named maannews.zip containing the main project's files and a documentation folder. You are reading this documentation, that means you already have theme both.

Creating Database

Before installing, you will need to create a new database. If you already know how to do this or have already created one, skip to the next step.

Note: Please use empty database. In most cases you should be able to create a database from your cpanel.

Login to your cPanel by entering this in your browser url

yourdomian.com/cpanel

Step: 1
Step: 2
Step: 3

Now you need to create a new user. On the same page go to create a new database user

Now add the user to the database

Step: 5

Uploading Files

On some operating systems, the dotfiles are hidden by default. Before starting to upload the files, please make sure your file explorer has the option to view hidden files turned on.

After creating a database, Upload the maannews.zip file on the web root folder of your domain. This folder is generally called public_html, html, or example.com, but depending on your server's configuration, it might be named differently.

After that in the public_html directory upload the downloaded file.

Note: Important Make sure that you have .env file in your folder.

Note: Make sure that .htaccess file got copied properly from the download to your server.

Now the installer will show up.The First screen will be Welcome Screen

Note : If you are not able to access the website by accessing yourdomain.com/install, but you are able to access it via yourdomain.com/index.php/install, this means that you probably don't have Apache mod_rewrite installed and enabled.

After successfully enabling and installing all required PHP extensions, next step is to set the appropriate permissions for some system folders that shows on below picture.

For giving permissions please open your terminal window. and type command sudo chmod 777 directory_name for example sudo chmod 777 app

Note : If your control panel has no terminal window, then go to public_html or the directory where you have uploaded the project. now give permission for some system folders that show on Installer. For example, we have demonstrated storage/framework directory permission in the below image.

Open required directory Change permissions for specific directory

Note: You have to change the directory permissions for the storage/logs and bootstrap/cache folders as shown in the image. If these folders do not have the correct permissions, please adjust them accordingly.
