Use the following steps to install NixieAffiliate on your server.

1. You will need to create a MySQL database on your server for NixieAffiliate to use.

2. Now that you have created a database for NixieAffiliate to use, open the file /nixie-agent/sqlinf.php in a plain text editor such as notepad and input your database connection details.

$host = "localhost";
This will usually be left as localhost

$user = "ftpusername_dbusername";
This is your database username usually prefixed by your ftp username and seperated with an underscore

$pass = "dbpassword";
This is your database password, not your FTP password, this password was chosen when we created a user for our database ( described in the tutorial above )

$database = "ftpuser_dbname";
This is your database name usually prefixed by your ftp username and seperated with an underscore

$aun = "admin";
You will log into the administration area using this username, you may enter any username that you wish.

$apw = "password";
You will log into the administration area using this password, you may enter any password that you wish.

$ae = "you@youremail.com";
Enter your email address.

3. Upload the NixieAffiliate folder to your website and visit http://www.yourdomain.com/NixieAffiliate/nixie-agent/

4. Click Install, the page will refresh and Nixie will be marked as installed. Now you can click Admin where you will be prompted for a username and password to login, these being those you entered into sqlinf.php

5. Once logged into the NixieAffiliate administration area, click Nixie Settings under the Configuration menu and fill out the form fields to suit your server and preferences. Additonal instructions can be found on that page.

6. Delete the /install/ folder from your server.
