+# Tinyboard - A lightweight PHP imageboard.
+
+## Installation
+ 1. Tinyboard requires a MySQL database and a user to work. Create one.
+ 2. Import 'install.sql' into the database
+ using phpMyAdmin
+ OR
+ mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE < install.sql
+ 3. Edit 'inc/config.php' to suit your installation
+ 4. Make sure that the directories used by TinyBoard are writable. Depending on your setup, you may need to chmod the directories to 777.
+ The default directories are
+ - /res
+ - /src
+ - /thumb
+ You will also need to chmod the root directory so that static HTML files like index.html can be made.
+ 5. Ensure everything is okay by running test.php in a browser. The script will try and help you correct your errors.
+ 6. Run the post.php script. It should create an index.html and redirect you to it if everything is okay.
+ 7. Optional (highly recommended): Delete test.php and perhaps install.sql and this README
+
