  1. First you need a web server. We have been successful installing OpenLabyrinth onto a several types of web servers including WAMP, MAMP and plain old LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) boxes. We will describe the commonest vanilla LAMP setup here.
  2. To install Open Labyrinth you can download a Zip version or clone the Git repository: git clone [email protected]:olab/Open-Labyrinth.git. If you clone the repository then skip steps 2-3.
  3. Unzip the archive.
  4. Copy "www" folder and its sub-folders to your server. So on a typical LAMP box, this would be at /var/www
  5. Open in your web browser the URL on your server where this "www" folder is located and follow the steps of installation presented by the OpenLabyrinth installer routine.

This will step you through the necessary checks, file permissions etc. Generally, you can just accept the default settings and it will work fine.
