The 6-Step Installation

Genclick uses a wizard-based installer that guides you through every step.

Upload the Installer

Download the installer package and upload it to your web hosting via FTP or cPanel File Manager.

Pre-Flight Checks

The installer automatically checks your server: PHP version, required extensions, directory permissions, and disk space. Clear instructions provided if anything needs attention.

Database Configuration

Enter your MySQL database credentials. The installer tests the connection with AJAX and automatically creates all 49 tables.

Admin Account

Create your administrator account with a strong password. A password strength meter helps you choose something secure.

Site Configuration

Set your site name, timezone, and basic settings.

Done!

The installer creates your encryption keys, locks itself, and you’re ready to go. Delete the install folder for security.

After Installation
