rajkumar - At this time, Flarum ain't ready for installation on shared hosting (unless you got the root access). Also, if you want to try installing Flarum; you might just commission a digitalocean server and give it a try.

As of now, the installation isn't as straightforward as WordPress; but eventually it will be.

Some shared hosting providers offer ssh access to the hosting environment. But you're correct to explain it's a requirement for installation.

Flarum is still in beta. Installation therefore is, as you correctly said, not straightforward. If installation seems overwhelming based on the documentation and the resources on this forum, I might suggest you wait for a release that offers an installer.

TheBigK Most proper shared hosts offer ssh access and have both git and composer available to you. But in the current Alpha stage that Flarum is in, then it really isn't recommended for anyone who has to ask these questions to try and run the board.

Yeah, I know. But despite the notices; lot of people are anyway going to find out what Flarum offers, what the admin side looks like and want to know if there's any easy way to install it. I spent almost a day getting it to work on Digital Ocean - it was a great learning experience.

I'm thinking how awesome it's going to be when Flarum hits the stable ? . Can't wait!
