## How to install Osclass?

To install Osclass you need to follow these easy steps:

***

1. Download the latest zip package of Osclass from [GitHub Release](https://github.com/mindstellar/Osclass/releases) and unpack it in your web-server root, i.e. `public_html` directory.
2. Execute the Osclass installation script by accessing index.php `oc-includes/osclass/install.php` from your browser:
   * If you’ve installed it in the domain’s root directory, you’ll have to go to: `http://example.com/index.php` or directly to **<http://example.com/oc-includes/osclass/install.php>**
   * If you’ve installed it in a subdirectory inside the domain, classifieds, for example, go to: `http://example.com/classifieds/index.php` or directly to `http://example.com/classifieds/oc-includes/osclass/install.php`\
     This will lead you to osclass inbuilt installer.
