SynaptikCMS Installation

There are no complicated setup steps or database.

1. Extract the ZIP archive
2. Upload the files to your server
3. Visit yourdomain.com/install.php (or yourdomain.com/subfolder/install.php if you uploaded the CMS files to a domain subfolder) to complete the initial setup (site name, language, admin password, admin folder name)
4. Start creating content!

That's it, you are already up and running!

Make sure to delete install.php and install.lock from your server after completing the site setup.
