# XAMPP Install Guide

Place the repository in `C:\xampp\htdocs\FieldOps-Cloud`, run `composer install`, copy `.env.example` to `.env`, create database `fieldops_cloud` in phpMyAdmin, import `database/schema.sql`, then `database/seed.sql`, and open `http://localhost/FieldOps-Cloud/public/`. Configure Apache document root to `public/` for cleaner URLs.
