• $db_hostname = "localhost"
• $db_database = "chevereto"
• $db_username = "root"
• $db_password = "" (leave this field blank)

9. Save the changes to the "config.php" file.

10. Open your web browser and type "localhost/chevereto" in the address bar. This will run the "install.php" file.

11. On the installation page, fill out the required fields. Be sure to set a strong admin password.

12. Once you have filled out all the required fields, click on the "Install Chevereto" button.
