Installation Suggestions

Template98 is designed to be lightweight and easy to deploy. You can get it running on a shared web host or on your local machine for development in just a few minutes.

Method 1: Shared Web Host (Easiest)

This method is perfect for quickly getting your project live. Most shared hosting providers offer a web-based file manager that makes this process simple.

1. Download the Project: Click the button below to download a zip file containing the entire Template98 project.
   Download install.zip
2. Log in to Your Host: Access your web hosting control panel (like cPanel, Plesk, etc.).
3. Open the File Manager: Navigate to the File Manager and go to the directory where you want to host your site (often `public_html` or `www`).
4. Upload & Extract: Use the "Upload" function to upload `install.zip`. Once uploaded, select the file and use the "Extract" or "Unzip" function.
5. Done! Visit your domain in a web browser. The application should now be live.

Method 2: Local Development Environment

Running the project locally is ideal for development and customization. The only requirement is having PHP installed. The fastest way to start is with PHP's built-in web server.

# 1. Install PHP (if you haven't already)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install php-cli

# 2. Navigate to your project folder
cd /path/to/your/template98_folder

# 3. Start the server
php -S localhost:8000

# 1. Download and install XAMPP.

# 2. Move your project folder into the 'htdocs' directory
#    (e.g., C:\xampp\htdocs\template98)

# 3. Start the 'Apache' module from the XAMPP Control Panel.

# 1. Install Homebrew (if you don't have it), then install PHP
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install php

# 2. Navigate to your project folder in Terminal
cd /path/to/your/template98_folder

# 3. Start the server
php -S localhost:8000
