VOTERA — QUICK START
====================
1. Upload everything in this folder to your web hosting (web root, or a subfolder).
2. Open your site in a browser. You'll land on the installer (/install/).
3. Choose a database:
• SQLite — nothing to set up, stores one file in /data. Great to start.
• MySQL — enter host / name / user / password (best for shared hosting at scale).
4. Set your product name and your admin email + password (min 8 chars). Click Install.
5. You're live:
• Public board ............. https://your-site/
• Roadmap .................. https://your-site/roadmap
