Requirements:

2. ionCube Loader is required by PHP
3. CURL must be installed and be compiled into PHP
4. Php GD Library
5. Php register_globals = off

If you are unsure whether your hosting meets these requirements, please contact your hosting company for confirmation. 

Installation:

1. Download the product in your accoun area then save it to your local computer.
2. Unzip the distribution of the script. To do this you will need an unzipping utility.
3. Copy your license file (eg_license.php) to the script folder
4. Using your favorite FTP client or webhosting control panel file manager, upload all files to root folder of your website. Depending on your hosting, it may be named "public_html", "www", "mainwebsite_html", "htdocs" or something like that.
5. Browse to http://www.yourdomain.com/install/index.php
6. Follow Web Based Setup script instructions;

   * uploads/photos/
   * uploads/pictures/
   This usually means CHMOD to permissions 707, 770 or 777. Which one will depend on your server configuration. Try 707, if you get an error in the installation procedure you can change it to 777. Please do chmod only if the setup script requires.
