== Preparation of the installation ==
i@nseo runs as a web site, so a so-called AMP stack (Apache, Mysql, Php) needs to be installed first.

=== Windows ===
To install i@nseo on a Windows operating system, follow these steps:

* Download the software from [https://ianseo.net/Releases.php ianseo.net]. The preferred method is to download the full installer that will install XAMPP.

*Extract the file in the wished folder. The preferred method is extracting the file in C:\ and ianseo will be found in C:\ianseo

*Run the setup xampp.bat file, available in the folder. A terminal window will open: in case there is some setup to tweek the system will display 2 pre-compiled questions: just press "Enter"; otherwise a message saying "Nothing to do" will be displayed. Then close the terminal window.

==== Post Installation ====
<b>In Windows 11</b> Windows Defender apparently interferes with XAMPP and sometimes crashes i@nseo.

</div>

====Run XAMPP====
After setting up the archives, activate XAMPP by clicking on the Xampp-control icon, then, in the new window, click on ‘Start’ to both Apache and MySql.

<div class="ianseo-alert-danger">
=====WARNING=====

If a warning appears stating that VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found, please install the [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-microsoft-visual-c-redistributable-version Latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Version] We reccomend the x86 version. If in doubt install both!
</div>

N.B.: the XAMPP control panel can be closed (minimised) and the services will keep running.

Verify the <code>C:\ianseo\htdocs</code> folder is world-writeable: right click on the folder, select properties and change the permissions so that everybody can have read and write access to the folder and subsequent files and folders.

===MacOs===
We do not have an installer for Mac, so the AMP stack needs to be installed separately.

====Download of XAMPP/MAMP====
Download XAMPP ([https://www.apachefriends.org/]) or MAMP ([https://www.mamp.info/en/downloads/]) and follow the instructions to install.

====Download of i@nseo====
From [https://ianseo.net/Releases.php ianseo.net] download the zip file and extract it in the folder <code>htdocs</code> of XAMPP/MAMP (under <code>/Application</code>)

===Linux===
The native way of installing the AMP stack is called LAMP: be aware that i@nseo will run on php 8 or later. Install with your package manager (you will need administrative privileges):

*apache2
*mysql-server
*mysql-client
*php
*php-mysql
*php-gd
*php-curl
*imagemagick
*php-imagick
*php-xml
*php-zip
*php-intl
*php-mbstring

Create a user for ianseo in the mysql server. This can be done in modern debian derived distribution with (copy and paste the following line in a terminal):
sudo mysql -e "create user ianseo@localhost identified by 'ianseo';grant all privileges on ianseo.* to ianseo@localhost;create database ianseo;"

If you have an error of missing password, you need to add the password switch. Be aware that you will not see the password as you type, so don't forget to hit "enter" when done.

sudo mysql -p -e "create user ianseo@localhost identified by 'ianseo';grant all privileges on ianseo.* to ianseo@localhost;create database ianseo;"

Create the folder <code>/opt/ianseo</code> and assign the folder to your user.
Download the zip file from [https://ianseo.net/Releases.php ianseo.net] and extract in <code>/opt/ianseo.</code>

Assign world writeable permissions to the folder and files with the following command.
sudo chmod -R a+rwX /opt/ianseo
Copy the apache configuration file located in <code>/opt/ianseo/Install/apache-ianseo.conf</code> in <code>/etc/apache2/conf-available</code> and enable the change in apache
sudo cp /opt/ianseo/Install/apache-ianseo.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available
sudo a2enconf apache-ianseo
sudo service apache2 reload

==Final Setup of i@nseo==
Check there is no file in <code>Common</code> called <code>config.inc.php</code>
Open an Internet browser and navigate to <code><nowiki>http://localhost/ianseo</nowiki></code>

Follow the on-screen instructions given by the software.
