Requirements

In order to remain lightweight, Anchor only supports recent versions of the languages it’s written in. As such, you will need:

• PHP 5.3.6+
  • curl
  • mcrypt
  • gd
  • pdo_mysql or pdo_sqlite
• MySQL 5.2+

If you’re not sure what version of PHP you have, create a new file, and paste the following in at the top of the page:

<?php echo PHP_VERSION; // version.php

This should print a number to your screen, which should be bigger than 5.3.6.

If you don’t have the necessary requirements, you will not be able to install Anchor. Contact your host to upgrade.

Installing

Before installing, make sure your platform has the required components to run Anchor.

1. Download  Anchor .
2. Navigate to your downloading file and extract the contents.
3. Depending on your host there may be a few methods of getting files uploaded. The most common is FTP/SFTP. In your favourite client, connect to your webhost and upload the files into the public folder. Note: on different hosts, this folder might be called public_html, web, or httpdocs.
4. Most server should be configured to allow the webserver to read and write to your files and folders, but some do not, in this case you will have to change the permissions on the contents and anchor/config folder to 0777 for the installer to run.
5. Next you will need to create a database for Anchor to install to, this can be called anything you like. On different host this process might vary, normally you will have access to some sort of GUI client such as PHPMyAdmin or Sequel Pro. You’ll need to ask your webhost if you’re not sure with this.
6. Navigate your browser to your Anchor installation URL, if you have placed Anchor in a sub directory make sure you append the folder name to the URL:

http://mydomainname.com/anchor

1. Follow the instructions in the installer.
2. Once you have completed the install, make sure to delete install folder for security purposes.
