• Copy or clone the project into your web root or desired subfolder.
• Create a MySQL database, for example: campus_recruitment.

• Import the database files in this order:

  mysql -u YOUR_USER -p campus_recruitment < database/schema.sql
  mysql -u YOUR_USER -p campus_recruitment < database/seed.sql

• Open config/database.php and update the host, database name, username, and password.
• Open config/config.php and set BASE_URL correctly. Use '' for root or the exact subfolder path if hosted inside one.
• Make sure the uploads/ folder is writable by the PHP process.

• Run the project using your web server, or start the PHP built-in server from the project directory:

  php -S localhost:8080

• Open http://localhost:8080 in the browser, or adjust the path if you are using a subfolder.
• Optionally review .htaccess if present for rewrite or upload access rules.
• For local testing with demo accounts, make sure seed.sql has been imported successfully

These credentials apply only after importing database/seed.sql. Change them before production use.
