- Create/choose a directory where you want Pie to reside in and extract the files contained in the distribution package into it. Pie's root directory does not necessarily have to match the document root of your web server. Any HTTP-accessible sub directory will do.
- Of all the files and directories present in the root directory only
css, img, index.php and pie.php must reside below the document root. It is recommended to move all other directories, specifically lib, etc and run, to private places somewhere in the file system. The same applies to the directories setup and import, which are only used during the installation.
- If you moved any of the files or directories, make the respective changes in the configuration file,
etc/pie.ini. If you moved pie.ini itself, re-edit pie.php, the master multiplexer script that handles all user interactivity.
- Once your changes are hardwired, run the script
setup.php and follow its instructions.
- At this stage,
setup.php requires the scripts below directory setup. After the installation, these files, along with setup.php, should be also (re-)moved.
- Run
pie.php, log in as user admin and change your password.
- You may want to import the documenation files provided in directory
import. After being imported, these files too are required no longer and this directory can be (re-)moved as well.
- Have fun.
