In this chapter, we've seen how easy it is to install CI. Once you have a development web server set up, all you need to do is download the CI code, unzip it, and copy it over.
Then, we quickly looked at the structure of the files we've installed and did some basic configuration, and now we have a working CI site.
Other changes we made will help us have a site that is more secure and with better URLs. Those changes are really not necessary and you can develop your site without them, but we saw how easy it was to make them and achieve their benefits.
Now, if you haven't done it already, install your own copy of CI, remember, the most important steps are:
Install XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html) or WAMP (http://www.wampserver.com/en/)
Download CodeIgniter (http://codeigniter.com/), unzip into
htdocs(XAMPP) orwww(WAMP), better if you do it inside it's own folderEdit the
system/application/config/config.phpfile to suit your configuration
You are almost done by...
