📋 Requirements

• PHP 7.4 or higher
• MySQL 5.7 or higher
• Web server (Apache, Nginx, etc.)
• Modern web browser
• Internet connection (for CDN resources)

🚀 Installation

1. Clone the repository to your web server's document root:

   git clone https://github.com/jcrvnx/training-management-system.git

2. Configure the database connection in includes/config.php:

   define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
   define('DB_USER', 'your_username');
   define('DB_PASS', 'your_password');
   define('DB_NAME', 'tms_db');

3. Update the BASE_URL constant in includes/config.php to match your installation directory:

   define('BASE_URL', 'http://localhost/training-management-system');

4. Access the application in your web browser. The system will automatically:

   • Check if the database exists
   • Create the database if it doesn't exist
   • Set up all required tables
   • Provide a registration form to create the first admin account

5. Register the first user:

   • The first user who registers will automatically become an administrator
   • Subsequent registrations will create regular user accounts
