-====== Requirements ====== 
  
-  * Web Server (Apache preferred, but may also work on IIS and others) 
-  * PHP 5 
-  * MySQL 5 
- 
-====== Installing OpenDocMan ====== 
-===== Things You Need to Do to Install OpenDocMan ===== 
-  - Check to ensure that you and your web host have the minimum requirements to run OpenDocMan.  
-  - [[http://www.opendocman.com/download/|Download]] the latest release of OpenDocMan. 
-  - Unzip the downloaded file to a folder inside your web server. 
-  - Print this page out so you have it handy during the installation. 
- 
-===== 5 Minute Install ===== 
-Here's the quick version of the instructions, for those that are already comfortable with performing such installations. More detailed instructions follow.  
-  - Download and unzip the OpenDocMan package, if you haven't already.  
-  - **Create a database for OpenDocMan** on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.  
-  - Create a folder outside of your public html folder that will contain your data files. This will be your "dataDir" folder in the config. For example, `mkdir /home/joeuser/document_repository/` 
-  - Make sure the permissions and ownership of the data folder will allow for the web server to write to it. For example, `chgrp apache /home/joeuser/document_repository/; chmod 770 /home/joeuser/document_repository` 
-  - You may also need to edit your apache settings to get the permissions working. The installation script has some examples that you will be presented with. 
-  - Place the OpenDocMan software files in the desired location on your web server: 
-    * If you want to integrate OpenDocMan into the root of your domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the unzipped OpenDocman directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server. 
-    * If you want to have your OpenDocMan installation in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/docs/), rename the directory opendocman-x.x to the name you'd like the subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server. For example if you want the OpenDocMan installation in a subdirectory called "docs", you should rename the directory called "opendocman-x.x" to "docs" and upload it to the root directory of your web server. 
-    * Make sure there is a templates_c folder ( ex. "mkdir templates_c" ), and the templates_c folder is writeable (ex. "chmod 775 templates_c" ) 
-  - Run the OpenDocMan installation script by accessing the opendocman folder URL in a web browser.  
-  - Fill out the necessary form fields during the installer 
-  - When you get to the last page, you click on the "New installation..." link for a fresh installation 
- 
- 
-That's it! OpenDocMan should now be installed.
