Before we begin with the installation process, make sure you have:
After downloading the OpenProject installation file, the next step is to launch the Windows Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the Start menu and select "Windows Terminal (Admin)".
In the Command Prompt window, navigate to the directory where the OpenProject installation file is located. Use the "cd" command to change the directory. For example, if the file is located in the Downloads folder, type:
cd C:\Users\<YOUR-USERNAME>\Downloads
Once you're in the right directory, run the following command to install OpenProject:

Replace <VERSION> with the version number of the OpenProject installation file.

After that, the installer will prompt you to choose the installation type between typical and custom. If you're not sure, it's best to choose "Typical" as it includes all the necessary features. However, if you want more control over the installation process, select "Custom" and choose your desired options.
Finally, click on the "Install" button to start the installation process. Wait for the installation to complete. It may take a few minutes to complete the process.
