🚀 Installation and Requirements

The CMS runs on regular PHP hosting. No database is needed — it uses an SQLite file.

System Requirements

The installer will check everything needed before starting.

Installation

1. Create a site in the hosting panel

Create a site for your domain. The hosting panel will create the www/ folder and configure PHP.

2. Upload the CMS

Open the terminal. Replace my-site.ru with your project folder:

cd ~/my-site.ru

All subsequent commands are copied as-is:

git clone https://github.com/Dezajnisto/apidcms.git _clone

cp -r _clone/www/* www/ && rm -rf _clone

3. Run the installer

Open https://your-site.ru/install.php in your browser and follow the on-screen instructions. The installer will check requirements, install dependencies, and create the database.

4. Open the site

Done. The admin panel is available at /admin. Login and password are the ones you set during installation.

⚠️ After installation, remove the installer:

rm www/install.php

Without Git

cd ~/my-site.ru
wget https://github.com/Dezajnisto/apidcms/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
unzip main.zip && cp -r apidcms-main/www/* www/ && rm -rf apidcms-main main.zip

Then open https://your-site.ru/install.php in your browser.

After Installation

1. Change the password (if needed). Admin panel -> Settings.
2. Configure AI. If needed — provide an API key in Settings.
3. Remove install.php (see above).

Common Issues

"Composer not found" — download Composer manually:

cd www
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php composer-setup.php
php composer.phar install --no-dev

Site not loading (502/503) — make sure the site is created in the hosting panel and PHP is enabled.

"Extension pdo_sqlite not found" — ask hosting support to enable pdo_sqlite and sqlite3.
