Grab a copy of ocs-server by cloning our public repository into the DocumentRoot of your server. Keep in mind the OCS protocol is made to work on the document root of this type: http://www.example.com or this: http://localhost. If you have other websites on the same server, we suggest you to put it in a subdomain like http://ocs.example.com.

Navigate to your DocumentRoot:

cd /var/www/html

Clone ocs-server git repository:

git clone git://anongit.kde.org/ocs-server.git

Copy everything to your server root:

cp -r ocs-server/* .

Final result

Ocs-server should be installed and working. Check the homepage, usually http://localhost/ or your domain of choice. In the homepage there are several useful links for both end-users and developers. You are ready to follow the First run wizard tutorial.
