======i-MSCP installer======

i-MSCP comes with an installer that allows to fully automate the installation process (or upgrade process).

=====Installer modes======

The i-MSCP installer can operate in two modes:

====Auto mode====

In this mode, the installer will take care of all installation or upgrade process. At the end, all should be operational.

In order, the following tasks are done:

  * The prerequired packages are installed
  * The setup dialog take place
  * The required packages are installed, according the choices you made through the setup dialog
  * The build process take place: All required files are copied into a temporary directory **/tmp/imscp**
  * The setup process take place: The files from the **/tmp/imscp** directory are copied in the system root directory and the configuration routines are run
  * The required services are started/restarted

====Manual mode====

In this mode, the installer will only install the required packages, and all required file will be copied in a temporary directory **/tmp/imscp**. 

  * The prerequired packages are installed
  * The Setup dialog take place
  * The required packages are installed, according the choices you made through the setup dialog
  * The build process take place: All required files are copied into a temporary directory **/tmp/imscp**

Once the process is finished, you must copy the files from the **/tmp/imscp** in the system root directory manually. Then, you must run the **/var/www/imscp/engine/setup/imscp-reconfigure** script to finalize the installation. The installer will give you the needed instructions.
