<li>Copy the Chamilo directory in your web server's root directory. This can be

<li>Verify your web server supports .htaccess files (see Rewrite section below)</li>
<li>Open your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox...) and type
<spanstyle="font-weight: bold;">http://localhost/chamilo/</span> if you install locally or

<spanstyle="font-weight: bold;">http://www.your-chamilo-domain.com</span> if you install remotely*

<li>We recommend defining a specific Virtual Host for this installation.</li>
<li>If you have to install multiple Chamilo instances, avoid the installation of Chamilo in a inside a folder, instead prefer the use of different domains or using subdomains examples:
<li>http://www.my-domain.com/chamilo (<iclass="fa fa-times"aria-hidden="true"></i> not recommended)</li>
<li>http://www.my-domain.com/chamilo2 (<iclass="fa fa-times"aria-hidden="true"></i> not recommended)</li>
<li>http://chamilo.my-domain.com/my-chamilo/ (<iclass="fa fa-times"aria-hidden="true"></i> not recommended)</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>

Note: if installing Chamilo locally using localhost or the IP address of your computer during the installation, you might get issues
while accessing from another computer. To avoid this, you can
<ahref="https://beeznest.com/blog/2013/01/15/answering-to-different-addresses-with-chamilo/">apply a little change to your configuration file</a>.
