2. Extract Files.

   • Unzip the downloaded .rar file locally.

3. Upload Files to Your Hosting Account.

   • Use FTP or File Manager in cPanel to upload the contents of the extracted folder.

   • Place them in the public_html directory if you want MemHT at the root (e.g., example.com).

4. Create a MySQL Database and User.

   • In cPanel at ruachost.com, use the MySQL Database Wizard.

   • Create a database and user, then assign full privileges.

   • Note the database name, username, and password — you’ll need them during installation.

5. Run the Installer.

   • In your browser, go to the installation URL:

     • If installed in root → http://example.com/index.php

     • Host → localhost

     • Username → database user you created

     • Password → database password

     • Database Name → database name you created

   • Choose a table prefix (default: memht).

7. Create Administrator Account.

   • Enter a Display Name, Username, Password, and Email Address.

   • This will be your login for the MemHT dashboard.

8. Finalize Installation.

     rm -rf ~/public_html/installation

   • Visit your domain (e.g., http://example.com).

   • Log in with the admin credentials you created.

   • You can now configure modules, themes, and start publishing content.
