--------------- SETUP -------------------

1.) This program requires the use of a web server (such as Apache) that runs both PHP and MySQL.  We recommend using XAMPP because it is free and requires little setup.  For the purposes of this walkthrough, we will be using XAMPP.

XAMPP can be downloaded from: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

2.) After you download and unzip XAMPP, download the latest MARRS version. (http://team537.com/marrs.php)  Extract all files into XAMPP's htdocs folder.  If you would like, create a folder called MARRS in the htdocs directory.

3.) Run xampp_start.exe to start your XAMPP server.

4.) In a web browser, goto http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin and create a database named MARRS.  After you create a the database, go to it and select the Import link.  Browse for the file db_install.sql and import it into your database.

5.) Find the file 'includes/mysql.php' and open it in a text editor such as Notepad.  Change the following to match your settings:

$sql_username = 'root';
$sql_password = '';
$sql_dbname = 'MARRS';
$sql_host = 'localhost';

These default values should work if you are using the default setup of XAMPP.

6.) Goto http://127.0.0.1/MARRS/ and login with username: admin and password: 12345.  Once you are logged in immediately change the administrator password.  Administrators can add new users, add competitions, and add teams to the database.

7.) To enter match data, click the link and fill out all fields.

8.) To view a scouting report, click the link and fill out the team number and select the dates you would like to see.
