# Installation

**Step 1**. Create your project using `composer`. This will install the basic set of dependencies and files.

```
cp config-example.php config.php
vim config.php
```

You can also use environmental variables in Apache, Heroku, or on the command line.

```
SetEnv DB_NAME "kuusamo_db"
```

**Step 3**. Install the database.

```
vendor/bin/doctrine orm:schema-tool:create
```

**Step 4**. Point your web server at the `public` directory.

**Step 5**. Open it up in your web browser and go to `/setup` to install your admin user.
