Web Installer

Beginner path for a fresh Veldriq 1.0.0 install. After the package is on the server and Composer packages are installed, open /install in the browser. This wizard is not an updater. Do not run it on a site that already has a platform administrator.

Fresh install only

Once the first platform administrator exists, /install is no longer available (HTTP 404). The wizard will not migrate, replace APP_KEY, or recreate the first user. There is no reset-database button. There is no veldriq:upgrade command.

Install Veldriq 1.0.0. Fresh sites only.

The two paths (Web Installer vs CLI) share SystemBootstrap, TenantBootstrap, and the first-administrator installer. They are not identical: CLI does not write .env, does not migrate, and does not activate the license.

Before you open /install

1. Server prerequisites — see Requirements.
2. Upload and extract the ZIP — backend/ and documentation/ at the package root.
3. Document root → backend/public.
4. From backend/: composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader.
5. Open https://your-domain.example/install. You should see Install Veldriq 1.0.0 and Start installation.

If that URL is 404, 403, 500, or already locked, stop. See Installer troubleshooting.

Wizard order

1. Welcome
2. Requirements
3. License (stores the Veldriq purchase code for this session)
4. Database
5. Application
6. Administrator (first admin, first workspace, currency)
7. Review
8. Complete — then sign in at /login

The wizard writes .env, generates APP_KEY as designed, migrates, bootstraps tenant/platform, and creates the first administrator.

Next: First administrator · License · Post-install checks.
