Choose the destination folder where you want OpenProject to be installed. The default is usually fine for most users. Click on the "Next" button to proceed.
On the next screen, you will be asked to choose the database backend for OpenProject. Unless you have a specific reason to use a different database, choose "PostgreSQL". Click on the "Next" button to proceed.
Provide a username and password for the PostgreSQL database. Make sure to remember these credentials, as you will need them later to configure OpenProject.
