Well, first of all you need a web server and a database system. MySQL is the best DB for openFIRST, but you can use MS-SQL and any ODBC-compatible DB also. If you use MySQL, create a database for openFIRST. The name does not matter.
After you set up the web server, dowload the full system archive from
www.openfirst.org/nightly. This is the latest version of openFIRST. There may be minor bugs, because this is a development version, but it is the most up-to-date. We test it as much as we can, but there is no way to discover all bugs in a short period of time
It should be ok.
Once you have the archive, exctract it to a directory on your web server. This could be the root dir. Then set write permissions on config/globals.php.
Now, open your web browser and navigate to the directory on your webserver that contains openFIRST scripts. Follow the on-screen instructions. For added security you can remove the write permissions from config/globals.php after the setup is complete.
If you have any problems, just e-mail me and I can help you set it up.
