For those who really want to do everything by hand or to get your hands on an existing situation, here are the steps to follow:

check requirements
Apache2 with htaccess enabled, mod_rewrite, headers, filter
mysql5
php5 with PDO and PDO mysql driver
copy files into your web space
set write permissions on cms/files folder and all its contents
open the file .htaccess
uncomment the last 6 lines (remove the pound)
set the correct path in RewriteBase
if the folder is the root domain leave the slash (eg. /)
otherwise enter a slash followed by the name of the folder (eg. /x3cms)
save and close the file. htaccess
created the database
populate it with the file INSTALL/mysql.sql
change the following tables:
table sites - replace the value in the domain with the URL of your site
example http://www.mysite.com
example http://www.mysite.com/x3cms
example http://localhost/x3cms
table users - replace the values of the fields username, email and passsword
the password field is obtained with the function md5
open the file cms/config/config.php
if you will put together multiple sites in the same domain change the value "sitekey" in the row
```
define ('SITE', 'sitekey');
```
enter the database access parameters in the array
```
$ DB_CONFIG ['default'] = array (
  'Db_type' => 'mysql',
  'Db_name' => 'x3cms',
  'Db_host' => 'localhost',
  'Db_socket' =>'',
  'Db_user' => 'root',
  'Db_pass' => 'root',
  'Persistent' => false,
  'Charset' => 'utf8'
);
```
you must replace the value of db_name, db_host, db_user and db_pass.
If necessary you can also enter the path to the socket of the db.
