Standalone Installation
Installing Jinzora in standalone mode is by far the easiest installation. To install Jinzora in Standalone mode please follow these steps:

- Download

You can get Jinzora from the following
Jinzora Downloads Page

- Extracting

Once you've got Jinzora downloaded you'll need to extract the download to your web server.
Windows: On Windows we recommend using Winzip to extract the downloaded .zip file (assuming that's the file you downloaded).
*NIX: On *NIX you'll need to do a: tar -zxvf jinzora-X.X.tar.gz (where X.X is the version number) to extract Jinzora to the current directory
Note: Jinzora WILL create a subdirectory called "jinzora2"

- Preparing

Windows Users: You MUST make sure that the Jinzora directory from above is located with in your webserver's root directory (c:\inetpub\www by default).
You also need to make sure that the webserver has at least read access to the directory you've extracted Jinzora to (which it should unless you've changed things...)
*NIX Users: To make installing Jinzora on *NIX easier (and for those that have SSH access) we've provided a script that will setup everything for Jinzora's installation. Please simply run:
sh configure.sh
Inside the Jinzora directory. This will create the necessary files and setup the proper permissions so the web based portion of the installation can complete (if you don't have SSH access don't worry, see FTP Only installation for assistance)

- GD Libraries

To take advantage of the image resizing functions in Jinzora you'll need the Boutell.com GD image libraries. To install these (these are ROUGH guidelines)
Windows Users:
1. Download the GD Library from us (or get it on the net...)
2. Unzip it to the exact same directory where PHP is installed (c:\php)
3. Edit php.ini (usually in c:\winnt or c:\windows) and edit the following line:
extension=php_gd2.dll (REMOVE the ; at the beginning of the line)
*NIX Users: This can be a bit more complicated on *NIX, so we recommend you view the installation guide located at Boutell.com for assistance

- Web Installer

Now that you've gotten everything ready, browse (in your favorite web browser) to
http://yoursite/path/to/jinzora/index.php
And you'll be taken through the web based installer. The web based installer is fully documented and should describe each option that you'll have along the way.
At the very end the installer you'll be given the option to submit anonymous stats about your Jinzora installation. We hope you'll submit these stats so that we can do our best to make Jinzora as powerful as possible. We do not collect any personal or user specific information of any kind at this step.
