1. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/.
2. Click on the "Databases" tab and enter a name for the database (e.g., icehrm).
3. Click the "Create" button to create the database.

Step 3: Download and Extract IceHrm

2. Extract the downloaded ZIP file to the htdocs folder in your XAMPP installation directory. For example, C:\xampp\htdocs\.

Step 4: Configure IceHrm

1. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost/icehrm/install/.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure IceHrm.
3. In the "Database Configuration" section, enter the database details you created in Step 2.
4. In the "Administrator Account" section, enter the details for the admin user account.
