1. Download Git and make sure your account has working SSH keys

2. From the command line, set your current working directory to be the directory above where you want the project to be. For example, if you are going to run this as a subfolder on your local development server, select the webserver's root. For example:

   cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/

3. Download a clone of the repository, replacing USERNAME with your GitHub username.

   git clone https://[email protected]/giftflow/giftflow.git

   This will create a folder in your working directory called giftflow and download the latest version of the repository to it.

4. Now change your working directory to be the folder you just cloned:

   cd giftflow

1. Create the database

   Create a database called gift and import the SQL found in the repository. /giftflow/gift.sql contains the structure of the database and /giftflow/data.sql contains some sample data.

2. Edit config.php

   This file is located at /giftflow/system/application/config/config.php

   You may need to edit the first two entries in the config array, located at lines 14 and 15: $config['base_url'] and $config['base_path']. Change their values to reflect your installation.

3. Edit database.php

   This file is located at /giftflow/system/application/config/database.php

   Here you should edit the database connection information to suit your needs. By default, it looks to localhost for a database named gift using the username root with a blank password.

GitHub has a good introduction to using Git here. Below some of the most basic tasks will be covered.
