Installation

Need assistance? Book a Google Meet session with us for a live walkthrough of the installation process, plus any requests for customization or additional features.

This is a PHP/MySQL web application that you run from a browser. You can install it either locally on your own PC, or to a web/intranet server.

1. Try the live demo

• We provide a live demo with sample data here

• You can access the demo as a guest user, with read-only access to data.

• You can also access the demo using the following credentials:

  • Username: demo
  • Password: demo

  The above credentials allow browsing the sample data with read-only access, as well as adding new data, with full access (view, edit, delete). Data added through the demo account is automatically removed periodically to prevent cluttering the demo app.

2. Trying it out using Gitpod (requires a github account)

This application is ready to run within the Gitpod IDE. This will allow you to try the application out and develop it for your needs. All you will need is a web browser. Do not use this in production!!!

Launch private demo on Gitpod

The app would take a couple of minutes to launch. Afterwards, you'll see the welcome screen of the app in the right part of the window, where you can start the setup wizard. When prompted to enter the database name, database username and datatbase password, you should enter appgini for all.

Gitpod is intended for previewing the app only, and is not suitable for use in actual production environments.
