Prerequisites

Before you install webCOMAND, your computer should have the following solution stack.

If the software above is not already installed, click an OS below for OS-specific instructions.

  • Linux - Use the package manager (YUM, apt, dpkg, etc.).
  • MacOS - Use the command-line or MAMP.
  • Windows - Use one of these: XAMPP, WAMP, AMPPS.

Install webCOMAND

  1. Download - Download webCOMAND from webcomand.com/download.
  2. Install - Unzip the downloaded archive to a suitable location in the file system.  The web server and PHP will need read and write permission to this location, but it should not be web-accessible.  One level up from the web server document root is recommended.  For example, if the web server document root is /var/www/html/, unzip the files to /var/www/webcomand/.
  3. Set Up webroot - Copy all (3) files inside the webroot folder to the web server document root.  They can also be copied to a sub-folder within the document root if desired.  Update the require_once() line in index.php with the proper relative path to where comand.php was installed in the previous step.
  4. Configure - Open a web browser to http://localhost/, or the URL that corresponds to where you copied the webroot files, and follow the set up instructions.

Once set up, you are ready to sign in.
