Setting up your Master Node - johnkeates/PufferPanel GitHub Wiki

1. Download all of the files from the GitHub repo, preferably a packaged version from the releases section.
2. Upload the contents of the master folder into the directory in which you want it to run (e.g. /var/www/yoursite.com/public_html/panel/).
3. Install all of the Dependencies that are required for the panel to operate on the server.
4. Correctly CHMOD the files and directories needed by the installer.

/admin/install (0777)
/admin/install/do (0777)
/core/framework (0777)
/core/framework/master_configuration.php.dist (0666)

4. Point your browser to the panel, and go to /admin/install and follow the instructions from there. This will set up the MySQL database, general settings, hashing information, and the root administrator account.
5. Delete the /admin/install directory.
6. Re-CHMOD the directories that were changed.

/core/framework (0755)
/core/framework/master_configuration.php.dist (0444)
