 Create a database in your local MySQL server called “chitkar”. Import the db scheme from /chitkar/protected/data/schema.mysql.sql
 Edit /chitkar/protected/config/main.php and enter the username and password required in your local MySQL server here:

 Login to chitkar as “admin”/”admin” and go to the Admin section, then go to the Users section.
 Create an administrator user (this MUST happen first, since as soon as any user exists, the default admin/admin password will stop working). Admin users have “Yes” to all user options.
 Logout, then log back in as your new admin user.
 Go to Admin section, then go to the Settings section. Update all the required settings.
