Mautic can be installed at MijnHostingPartner.nl in the following way, like any system there are a few things needed before you start the installation. These are the following items:

- FTP account
- MySQL database and user
- Email account
- Basic text editor, or for example NotePad++ for Web.config modification.

To start any installation you will of course need the necessary files, these can be downloaded from Mautic after you provide eea information. You can download the latest version from the following link;

https://www.mautic.org/download

Always get the latest stable version for best results.

There then download a zip file with all the necessary information, you now have two options, or the zip file as a zip to upload to the WWWROOT of your hosting space. It is more than 22,000 files, so generally it goes faster if you upload it as a zip file. And then unzip it using the filemanager in the control panel. The choice is yours.

Do not forget to remove the default.htm file, after you have uploaded the files to the correct folder it is necessary to execute full write permissions on these new files. You can do this by executing full write permissions in the control panel.

Then open a new window in your browser to the website where you want Mautic installed, then the following screen appears if you have completed the previous steps correctly.
