## Installation
1. Install your preferred webserver, PHP, MariaDB/MySQL, and MySQLi.
2. Start the MariaDB daemon.
3. If you haven't yet, run `mysql_secure_installation`.
4. Run `mysql -u root -p` to log in to the SQL database. (If this fails, try running it as root.)
5. Enter the following commands. Remember to change the placeholders!
```sql
CREATE DATABASE moodblog;
GRANT ALL ON moodblog.* TO 'moodblog'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
```
* Tip: You can use /dev/urandom encoded with base64 to create long, strong passwords.
```sh
base64 /dev/urandom -w 512 | head -n 1
```
6. Use git to clone this repository to any directory in your webroot.
* Example paths:
```
/var/www/html
/var/www/blog
/var/www/moodblog
/var/www/html/moodblog
/var/www/html/blog
```
7. Copy templates/creds.def.php to templates/creds.php. Change the placeholders.
8. Copy templates/config.def.php to templates/config.php. Change the placeholders.
* You really only need to change $url and $root to get a working installation, however, you really should change everything after $password.
9. Sever your leg please. It's the greatest day.
