1. Download the zip file from this link: http://fuelphp.com/files/download/42
   • cd ~
   • wget http://fuelphp.com/files/download/42
2. Unzip the zip file. The resulting extracted folder should be named fuelphp-1.8 or something similar.
   • unzip 42 # the zip file comes in named as 42
3. Copy the folder named fuel from fuelphp-1.8 and paste it in your home directory (not public_html, should be named with your EID). This will be our frameworks base folder.
   • cp -r ~/fuelphp-1.8.2/fuel ~/
4. Make a folder named ct310 inside your local_html folder.
   • mkdir ~/local_html/ct310
5. Copy all contents of fuelphp-1.8/public to your ct310 folder.
   • cp -r ~/fuelphp-1.8.2/public/* ~/local_html/ct310/
6. Set permissions to ct310 and the fuel base folder to 755.
   • chmod -R 755 ~/fuel ~/local_html/ct310
• Using chmod with the -R flag will apply permissions recursively to all contained files and folders
7. Open the file named index.php that currently resides in your local_html/ct310.
8. Inside the file, replace all occurrences of __DIR__.'/../fuel/ to __DIR__.'/../../fuel/.
• There should be 3 occurrences in total
• If you do this wrong you'll likely see an error like "no composer autoloader found"
9. Hit https://www.cs.colostate.edu:4444/~YOUR_EID_HERE/ct310 in your web browser. The framework homepage should now open successfully and you should see something like this:
