Simple installation process, similar to other CMS's like Wordpress, there are a couple of extra steps like adding a Google Maps API key (Maxi Version), an Open AI key (Pro version) and LOGISTACKs License key. It's very straight forward and you're guided through the process with instructions and links to obtain APIs.
Always, Always, ALWAYS, try out the demo before purchasing, this removes the possibility of dissapointment or a misunderstanding about what LOGISTACK provides. The last thing I want is for you to buy something you don't like - you should love it before subscribing.
1) System Requirements
OS: Linux preferred (Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS/Alma/etc.). Works on most shared hosts (cPanel/Plesk). And popular web hosting platforms, I use Hostinger, but other providers like GoDaddy, IONOS, and DreamHost will provided the resources required to run LOGISTACK.
- Web server: Apache 2.4+ or Nginx 1.18+
- PHP: 8.0+ (8.1/8.2 recommended) - LOGISTACK developed on PHP 8.4
- Database: MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.4+
- Disk: ~300 MB for app + room for uploads (plan for growth) - our database in 110MB, additional files makes it close to 200 MB from install.
- HTTPS: Strongly recommended (Let’s Encrypt or equivalent)
2) Access you’ll need
- Web hosting panel (cPanel/Plesk)
- Ability to create a MySQL database + user
3) Competency levels (who can do what)
“Control-panel installer” (Beginner–Intermediate)
Comfortable with cPanel/Plesk, uploading files, creating a DB.
- Can follow a browser-based installer
- No command line needed
You can: complete the whole install + basic post-install config.
4) Pre-Install Check List
To make the installation run smoothly without delays, you'll need;
- Domain points to the server and HTTPS is ready
- PHP 8.0+ with
pdo_mysql,mbstring,fileinfo,dom(andgd) - MySQL/MariaDB DB + user created (with full privileges on that DB)
- File upload directory writable by PHP
- SMTP credentials (from your email / hosting provider) - sending invoices, and using internal chat and private messaging.
- Open AI key if you’re using LOGISTACK Pro - see our Open AI API guide for more info.
- Google Maps API key if you're using LOGISTACK Maxi, Pro or Ultra (Routes API) - see our Maps API guide for more info.
5) Installation (what you’ll actually do
“Control-panel installer” (Beginner–Intermediate)
1. Upload files to your web root (or a subfolder)
2. Create DB (db name/ db user/ db password) in your panel.
3. Visit the installer (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/install.php) and:
- a) Pass the environment checks
- b) Enter DB credentials → save
- c) Import schema (when prompted)
- d) Create the admin user
- e) Add Google Maps API (if using Maxi or Pro version - leave empty for Mini).
- f) Add Open AI API (if using Pro version -leave empty for Mini and Maxi)
- g) Add SMTP credentials
- g) Add LOGISTACKs License key - get this from our product portal.
- h) Hit "Save and Install" to run the installer.
Verify login works and the app and database have uploaded successfully.
Delete or rename to install folder.
