TCExam Installation

Docker (recommended for evaluation)

If you started TCExam with make up (or docker compose up --build), the installation is performed automatically on first start — there is no need to run this web installer. Just open the application and sign in at admin/code/ with the default account admin / 1234 (change it immediately).

Manual / self-hosted install

On your own PHP/web/database stack, first install the PHP dependencies (the bundled libraries — PDF engine, mailer, CAS, RADIUS — are no longer shipped in the source tree):

composer install

Then either run the web installer or the command-line installer:

• Web installer: run install.php and fill in the form.
• Command-line installer (non-interactive, scriptable): set the TCEXAM_DB_* / TCEXAM_PATH_* environment variables and run php install/install_cli.php. See the header of that file for the full list.

The full step-by-step manual — system requirements, manual installation and post-installation security — is in install/README.md (also rendered on GitHub), and at the project website tcexam.org.

Important: delete this entire install/ directory once installation is complete — it must not remain reachable on a production server.
