Time for action — running the installer
Let's see how to start the installer:
1. The Mahara installer is started when you navigate to
wwwroot(location where you have installed Mahara) in your Internet browser. For example, visit http://mysite.tdm.info.2. The first page you see in the installer invites you to read the GNU General Public License. Click on Install Mahara at the bottom of the page to continue.
Note
If you don't see the GNU information screen, it is likely that you have done something wrong. Mahara will typically give you a message at this point explaining what the problem is. You can then have a look over at mahara.org for some help with fixing your problem.
3. The next page is where all the important work is being done. You will see each component being installed in the database. If everything goes well, the information section on the right-hand side should have a green tick for each component. When the installation has finished, click on continue at the bottom of the page.
4. And that's all there is to it! You will now see the home page of your very own Mahara.
What just happened?
You just ran the Mahara installer, which added all the necessary tables and data to your Mahara database.
