If you (mainly) need the following functionality you might NOT want to use cSphere:
At least PHP 5.4.0 or HHVM 2.4.0 on any webserver (PHP builtin webserver works, too)
The following PHP extensions must be available:
One of the following database servers (with PDO extension in PHP):
Legend: + means that the given version or any newer one will work
Download a release version or clone the GIT repository
Upload the whole csphere directory and index.php
Look into the webserver directory to grab the corresponding settings file
Change that file to match your environment and upload it to where index.php is located
Grant the csphere/config directory write access so that install can create a config file
Grant the csphere/storage directory and all subdirectories write access on filesystem
Do the following when running it on a self-managed webserver:
Start your webserver, e.g. the PHP builtin webserver in tools/server directory
Start your database server when not using SQLite, since SQLite is already builtin in PHP
Now open your website and follow the installation instructions
For further information look into the docs directory or visit our website
The API documentation can be generated inside the tools/documentor directory
