# Installation
1. Download the latest **stable** release from the [Kohana website](http://kohanaframework.org/).
2. Unzip the downloaded package to create a `kohana` directory.
3. Upload the contents of this folder to your webserver.
4. Open `application/bootstrap.php` and make the following changes:
- Set the default [timezone](http://php.net/timezones) for your application.
~~~
// Example of changing timezone from Chicago to Sao Paulo, Brazil
date_default_timezone_set('America/Sao_Paulo');
~~~
- Set the `base_url` in the [Kohana::init] call to reflect the location of the kohana folder on your server relative to the document root.
~~~
// Example of kohana's installation at /var/www/mywebsite and
// Apache's DocumentRoot configured to /var/www
Kohana::init(array(
'base_url' => '/mywebsite',
));
~~~
6. Make sure the `application/cache` and `application/logs` directories are writable by the web server.
~~~
sudo chmod 777 -R application/cache
sudo chmod 777 -R application/logs
~~~
7. Test your installation by opening the URL you set as the `base_url` in your favorite browser.
[!!] Depending on your platform, the installation's subdirs may have lost their permissions thanks to zip extraction. Chmod them all to 755 by running `find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;` from the root of your Kohana installation.
You should see the installation page. If it reports any errors, you will need to correct them before continuing.

Once your install page reports that your environment is set up correctly you need to either rename or delete `install.php` in the root directory. Kohana is now installed and you should see the output of the welcome controller:
