040: Installation instructions
041: -------------------------
042:
043: Installation is quite easy: copy the contents of the Classes folder to any location
044: in your application required.
045:
046: Example:
047:
048: If your web root folder is /var/www/ you may want to create a subfolder called
049: /var/www/Classes/ and copy the files into that folder so you end up with files:
050:
051: /var/www/Classes/PHPExcel.php
052: /var/www/Classes/PHPExcel/Calculation.php
053: /var/www/Classes/PHPExcel/Cell.php
054: ...
055:

057:
058: Getting started
059: ---------------
060:
061: A good way to get started is to run some of the tests included in the download.
062: Copy the "Examples" folder next to your "Classes" folder from above so you end up with:
063:
064: /var/www/Examples/01simple.php
065: /var/www/Examples/02types.php
066: ...
067:
068: Start running the test by pointing your browser to the test scripts:
069:
070: http://example.com/Examples/01simple.php
071: http://example.com/Examples/02types.php
072: ...
073:
074: Note: It may be necessary to modify the include/require statements at the beginning of
075: each of the test scripts if your "Classes" folder from above is named differently.
