1. Download and extract the ZIP file from your purchase.
2. Upload all files to your web server's public root (e.g. /public_html/ or /var/www/html/).
3. Set directory permissions: make uploads/, config/, and public/ writable by the web server (chmod 755 or 775).
4. Open the installer in your browser: navigate to https://yourdomain.com/install/
5. Step 1 — Requirements Check: The installer will verify PHP version, MySQL, PDO, and mod_rewrite. All items must pass (green checkmark) before proceeding.
6. Step 2 — Database Setup: Enter your MySQL host, database name, username, and password. The installer will create the database and run all migrations automatically.
7. Step 3 — Admin Account: Set your admin username, email, and password.
8. Step 4 — Complete: The installer will finalize setup and self-delete the install directory for security.
9. Log in at https://yourdomain.com/ with your admin credentials and start using VaultNote!

Security tip: After installation, ensure the install/ directory has been removed. Never expose config/config.php or config/database.php publicly.
