Open phpMyAdmin, select your database, Import database.sql. 5. Rename config.example.php to config.php and edit the values with your DB credentials. 6. Create the admin password hash. If your host provides Terminal and PHP CLI, run: php -r "echo password_hash('YOUR-STRONG-PASSWORD', PASSWORD_DEFAULT), PHP_EOL;" If no terminal is available, use a local PHP 7.4+ installation. Do not use an online password generator for your actual admin password. 7. In phpMyAdmin > SQL, insert the administrator account (replace sample values): INSERT INTO admins (name,email,password_hash) VALUES ('Shop Admin','you@example.com','PASTE_HASH_HERE'); 8.

Once you connect a domain, enable SSL/HTTPS in cPanel.
