To install the eFront application on your web server, you will have to download the latest release from either Softpedia or the product’s website, save the ZIP archive on your Home directory, and extract its contents with an archive manager utility.

Open a FTP client and connect to your web server. Create a new folder and upload all the files from the extracted directory. After all files have been copied, open a web browser and access the directory where you’ve uploaded the files, on your web server. Detailed upgrade and installation instructions are also provided on the ZIP archive.

Being written entirely in PHP, the eFront application is platform-independent, which means that you can access it from any GNU/Linux, BSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X operating system through a web browser that supports the latest web technologies.
