Welcome to the Davinci AI installation guide. This tutorial will walk you through the process of setting up Davinci AI on your server.

​
Before You Start

  1. Make sure that your hosting server meets the Server Requirements
  2. Create your database and database user, note down the database name, username and password

​
Installation Steps

1

Upload Davinci AI Files

  1. Make sure your domain’s DNS settings are valid and your domain is publicly accessbile already.
  2. Locate the openaidavinci-xx.zip file in your DavinciMainFiles.zip package and upload this zip file to your hosting server.
  3. Unzip it in the root directory of your domain.
    Some hosting platform hide files starting with ’.’ (hidden files), so make sure that in your settings of your cPanel you enable this option.
    If your local Windows/Linux/MaxOS environment does not show hidden files, and you are planning to upload the contents of the file directly via FTP, make sure you enable viewing hidden files locally first even before unzipping, otherwise you will not upload all hidden files such as .env/.htaccess to your FTS server simply because your local environment will not see them.
