Manage, organize and archive all your support requests and responses in one place while providing your customers with accountability and responsiveness they deserve.

osTicket now supports bleeding-edge installations. The easiest way to install the software and track updates is to clone the public repository. Create a folder on you web server (using whatever method makes sense for you) and cd into it. Then clone the repository (the folder must be empty!):
git clone https://github.com/osTicket/osTicket
And deploy the code into somewhere in your server's www root folder, for instance
cd osTicket
php manage.php deploy --setup /var/www/htdocs/osticket/
Then you can configure your server if necessary to serve that folder, and visit the page and install osTicket as usual. Go ahead and even delete setup/ folder out of the deployment location when you’re finished. Then, later, you can fetch updates and deploy them (from the folder where you cloned the git repo into)
git pull
php manage.php deploy -v /var/www/htdocs/osticket/
