How to Install Traq on Windows 10

Traq is a web-based project management system written in PHP that is easy to use and customizable. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Traq on Windows 10.

Prerequisites

• A web server (such as Apache or IIS)
• PHP version 5.6 or higher
• MySQL version 5.5 or higher with a user account and an empty database
• Composer installed (https://getcomposer.org)

Installation

1. Download the latest version of Traq from https://traq.io/download/
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded archive to your web directory (e.g. C:\xampp\htdocs\traq)
3. Open a command prompt in the extracted folder
4. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:

composer install

5. Copy the config.example.php file and rename it to config.php
6. Open the config.php file and edit the following lines:

$cfg['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/traq';
$cfg['db_host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['db_name'] = 'traq';
