🤸 Getting Started

🚅 Requirements

Your server needs to meet the following minimum requirements to run Xera:

• PHP v7.2 or above.
• MySQL v5.7 or above.
• A valid, trusted SSL certificate.

💾 Installation

The installation of Xera is much easier than you think!

• Download the Xera installation files here. Alternatively, if you want the latest development version you can get it here.
• Extract the file and upload the contents to your web hosting account.
• Create a new database for Xera.
• Go to https://{your.domain}/{xera-directory}/install.php and click on the 'Get Started' button.
• Set your website's Website URL, Cookie Prefix, enable CSRF Protection and hit the 'Next Step' button.
• Edit the database credentials and click on the 'Next Step' button (this will automatically import tables and records to the database).
• Register an admin account and login to your admin panel.
• Replace the logo and favicon located in assets/default/img/ with your own.
• Setup SMTP (see below for some services you can use).
• All done!

📧 SMTP

Here are some widely used SMTP services. They have free plans with some limitations, most importantly though, they are compatible with Xera.

• Mailgun.

Note
Mailgun seems to offer only a trial plan for a month, and without adding a credit card you are only authorized to send emails to 5 recipients. Therefore, you may want to choose another service.

• Mailjet.
• SendGrid.

🤔 Help

If you require assistance, please proceed to our forum (no longer working), where you can find the answers to many questions and also ask your own.
You can also open an issue here if you have discovered a bug or have an issue, although the forum is still the preferred way, especially for feature requests. In any way, please ensure your topic has not been previously discussed, and if it has contribute to that discussion instead of making a new one when you can.
