Download Standalone.zip

1 Upload files to cPanel

Log into cPanel → File Manager → navigate to your domain root:

public_html (main domain) subdomain_folder (addon)

• Click Upload and select Standalone.zip
• After upload, right‑click the zip → Extract

Important: Extract files directly into the root folder (e.g. public_html). Do not nest inside an extra subfolder like public_html/CMIpavaratty/. If nested, move all files up one level.

2 Create MySQL database

From cPanel dashboard → MySQL® Databases:

1. Create database: e.g. db_school → click Create.
2. Create user: enter username + strong password. copy password
3. Add user to database: select both, click Add, then check ALL PRIVILEGES → Make Changes.

Keep credentials safe: DB name, username, password.

3 Run 1‑Click Installer Wizard

Visit your domain (e.g. https://yourdomain.com) — you'll be redirected to /install.php.

• System check: PHP 8.1+ & extensions, folder permissions (storage, bootstrap/cache).
• Database config: enter DB name, username, password (host: 127.0.0.1 or localhost).
• Click Install / Setup — tables & migrations run automatically.

The wizard creates the .env file and seeds the database. After completion, you'll see your dashboard.

4 Delete installer (security)

Once you can access the dashboard:

• Go to cPanel File Manager
• Delete install.php and the installation_files folder (if present).

Best practice: The system places a flag at storage/installed, but deleting the script prevents re‑exposure.

Troubleshooting

500 Internal Server Error: Ensure PHP 8.1+ (use Select PHP Version in cPanel).

Permission errors: Set storage & bootstrap/cache to 775 (or 777) via File Manager.

Blank page / missing .htaccess: Enable "Show Hidden Files (dotfiles)" in File Manager and ensure .htaccess is present.
