This pretty much sums it up. I have downloaded SuiteCRM and have located on my drive. What next? I looked at the file and see an install, but have not been able to locate what to look for and begin to launch.
You need to set up a web server and database. It is a web application.
If you want to do it on localhost first instead of a web server to test / configure, you’ll need to download Xampp.
Once you have downloaded xampp, configure settings and start both Apache and MySQL. Download the SuiteCRM file and put them in Local Disk (C:) / xampp / htdocs
Remember to rename the “suitecrm-7.2.2-max” to something simple like “projectCRM”, next, use any web browser and go to localhost/projectCRM
You’ll be greeted with SuiteCRM’s installation and you can begin from there.
