Instructions

Installation (web installer — no coding):

1. Upload and extract the package into your web directory (or the public_html of your domain/subdomain).
2. Make sure your document root points to the public folder, or use the included rewrite so the app runs from the project root.
3. Create an empty MySQL database and a database user with full privileges on it.
4. Open your site in a browser — you will be taken to the installer automatically.
5. Follow the wizard: Requirements → Database → Setup → Admin Account → Company → Finish.
6. Log in with the administrator account you created and start using HireBoard.

Getting started after install:

1. Open Settings and set your company name, logo and timezone.
2. Configure your SMTP details under the Mail settings so the app can send emails.
3. Add your team members and assign their roles.
4. Create your first job, then start adding and tracking candidates.

A full installation and usage guide is included inside the download package.
