-===== install niota php-application (N-PAPP) =====
+===== Introduction =====
+The niota table management system is a PHP application. The document pages use the synonym [[niota_glossary|N-PAPP]] for niota (PHP) application.
+===== Install niota PHP-application =====
+Visit [[niota_links|niota download page]] and download proper release for N-PAPP.
+  * unzip the folder and rename it to your needs
+-----
+**Recommendation**
+Remove detailed version information from the folder name
+-----
+  * copy unzipped folder into folder: **''Apache\<document-root>''**. Further details can be found [[niota_install_apache|here]]
+**Do not overwrite an existing N-PAPP. In case you install a new release, name the new release differently than the old release or rename the old release.***
+  * navigate to **''app\conf''** folder and rename file **''_shipped_connections.php''** to **''connections.php''** or copy **''_shipped_connection.php''** to **''connections.php''**
+  * rename file **''_shipped_hosts.php''** to **''hosts.php''** or copy **''_shipped_hosts.php''** to **''hosts.php''**
+**There will not be a **''connections.php''** or **''hosts.php''** in any install, as it would overwrite your local config.**
+**In case you upgrade from an older release to a new release you can copy the files from the old release. Please check the release notes if the structure of the configuration has changed for these to files**
+By using the ''_shipped*'' files as your current files you set the pre-configured demo connections as the active niota connections for the **''system''** client.
+Check in **''connections.php''** if the MySQL server port for N-MDDB is set correctly and if it matches with the port configured in MySQL **''my.ini''** config file.
+If you have already a valid and well configured **''connections.php''** file from a previous release, copy this file to this folder.
+  * check if Apache and PHP are up and running
+  * open a browser window and enter the login – URL
+<code - niota.url>
+   http://<my_host>/<my_niota_path>/app/login.php
+   or
+   http://<my_host>/<my_niota_path>/app/login.php/?client=system
+   or
+   http://<my_host>/<my_niota_path>/app/login.php/?client=<myclient>
+</code>
+If your N-MDDB is not up and running, you cannot log in yet. Without N-MDDB you can check only the load of the login screen.
+  * ask your contact at about actual credentials to login, in case of a totally new install.
+We strongly recommend to use your own client configuration and not to use the system client.
+  * continue [[niota_install_clients|to install/configure your client]]
