- Access test.php from your web browser to begin installation.
- You may need to
chmod(change the permissions of) the containing folder to0777. - This will perform a lot of automated actions based on your config:
- Test your versions of PHP, GD, and MySQL.
- Create the working SQL database and tables for storing information.
- Create additional working folders in the same directory and ensure they have proper permissions.
- On the first run, if everything is okay you should only see

- If all went well, access imgboard.php to generate the board.
- If you want you can delete the user accounts that were entered near the top of test.php.
