These are the installation instructions for those that wish to install the software using the newer community edition using a zipped installation package.
Using this method is recommended if you are comfortable with installing web-based software using FTP and running composer install. You can also use git to clone the repo if you are familiar with that, but we don't have any instructions for that option. Doing so is very similar to the steps below, but instead of downloading the files and using FTP to upload, you would use git to clone the repo at https://github.com/geodesicsolutions-community/geocore-community

The original instructions are below in case you have an old copy and want to try it.
These are the installation instructions for those that wish to install the software using the Zipped installation package.
Using this method is recommended if you are comfortable with installing web-based software using FTP. For the "rest of us", we recommend using the Wizard to do a lot of the work described here for you.
You may note that this method has fewer steps in the instructions than using the Executable Wizard. Don't let this deceive you, as using the Wizard will still be easier for most people. In the instructions below, we have not gone as "in depth" on certain areas (such as uploading the FTP files) since this method is more for people who are already familiar with installing web-based software using FTP.
Instructions:
Note: The bold parts of the file names above may be different for you, depending on the software edition, and the current version that is available. <

NOTE: At the admin page, if it says that the folder templates_c needs to be "writable"3) : Change the following directories to be writable by the "apache user" (When in doubt, CHMOD 777 if it gives an error about templates_c):
_geocache/
templates_c/
user_images/
geo_templates/ 4)
