🤸 Getting Started

🚅 Requirements

Your server needs to meet the following minimum requirements to run Xera:

• PHP v8.1 or above.
• MySQL v5.7 or above.
• A valid, trusted SSL certificate.

💾 Installation

The installation of Xera is much easier than you think!

• Download the Xera installation files here. Alternatively, if you want the latest development version, you can get it here.
• Extract the file and upload the contents to your web hosting account.
• Create a new database for Xera.
• Go to https://{your.domain}/{xera-directory}/install.php and click on the 'Get Started' button.
• Set your website's Website URL, Cookie Prefix, enable CSRF Protection and hit the 'Next Step' button.
• Edit the database credentials and click on the 'Next Step' button (this will automatically import tables and records to the database).
• Register an admin account and log in to your admin panel.
• Replace the logo and favicon located in assets/default/img/ with your own.
• Setup SMTP (see below for some services you can use).
• Refer to Setup Guide

📧 SMTP

Here are some widely used SMTP services. They have free plans with some limitations; most importantly, though, they are compatible with Xera.

• Mailgun.

Note
Mailgun seems to offer only a trial plan for a month, and without adding a credit card, you are only authorized to send emails to 5 recipients. Therefore, you may want to choose another service.

• Mailjet.
• SendGrid.
