1. Decompress and put this folder somewhere inside your document root
2. If you want the directory to be called something other than "serendipity",
change the directory name now
3. Open serendipity in your browser (installer will say hi to you)
4. Serendipity ships world-writeable (777) to make installation easier.
After the install is complete,  you should change the permissions to allow
only your web-server user (e.g. Nobody) to access the serendipity directory.
If you have enabled file-upload and/or caching, you need to do something
like this:
  chown -R Nobody serendipity/
  chmod -R 744 serendipity/
because the web server needs to be able to write to directories inside the
distribution.  Otherwise, you should probably chmod -R 644 serendipity.
5. Done!

1. The Apache Webserver (Linux suggested; s9y runs on Windows with some
   directory-related drawbacks and system locale issues. You'll need to
   take care that when installing on windows you always use '/' slashes
   for directories and no '\' slashes anywhere. Also make sure your apache
   DocumentRoot is set to a directory with '/'.)
2. .htaccess support allowing overrides for DirectoryIndex (if rewriting is
   wanted)
3. PHP Version 4.3 or greater, required
   modules are listed on the installer page.
4. php.ini options:
   - error_reporting E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE (or lower)
   - file_uploads on (For import/image upload features)
5. Any of the following database engines:
   - Mysql(i)
   - PostGreSQL
   - SQLite (not quite!)
