[INSTALLATION]

** See further down for updating instructions **

1. This step assumes you downloaded a zip archive from the Symphony website

   directories to the root directory of your website:

     - index.php
     - install.php
     - /symphony
     - /workspace
     - /extensions

   (Alternatively, you can upload the .zip archive to the same location and
   run 'unzip' from the command line.)
  
   Note: You can leave /workspace out if you do not want the default theme.

2. Point your web browser at http://yourwebsite.com/install.php and provide
   details for establishing a database connection and about your server
   environment.
