How long does it take to install standard SuiteCRM?

Been told by IT company that it will take 5 hours to install on one of our computers, seems way too long!

Any comments…

The actual install process is pretty quick, just timed it and it took 4 minutes (plain install, no demo data). However this is on a local machine where everything I need is already setup. If they need to set up a web server, install and setup PHP, install and setup a database server e.t.c. then this could take longer.

If you think this is unreasonable then it would be best to query this with them.

Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Jim. IT company charged us £619 for 5 hours work so we were a bit surprised.

I can confirm what Jim said, less than 10 minutes for pure installation. But this is only a basic set up. I have spent some hours now researching and trying to do all kinds of settings.

From this post and several others I am seeing, I gather that many users are these days trying to install, all of us having the exact same challenges. Can’t we join forces as a school class and make kind Jim"s and amariussi"s work more efficient?

Am struggling with suitecrm install on my windows 10 local machine since past 5 days, getting stuck at every step even though following the installaitno guide to the letter. I think the instructions given assume that we have knowledge of creating batch file, access permissions etc. And there are not enough documentation or forum help.

I did not want to use the third party installers such as bitnami.

Another couple of days of effort and if I am still unsuccessful, I am moving to another crm that is simpler to install and use.
