Installing on cPanel (Shared Hosting)

AIO Video Downloader installs like a regular PHP website: no command line and no WordPress needed. Check the System Requirements article first.

1. Create a database

In cPanel, open MySQL® Database Wizard. Create a database and a user, and give the user All privileges on the database. Write down the database name, username and password. On cPanel they include your account prefix, for example myuser_aio.

2. Upload the files

Open File Manager, go to public_html (or a subfolder such as public_html/download), upload aio-video-downloader-x.y.z.zip and choose Extract. Make sure files like index.php and install.php end up directly in that folder, not in an extra subfolder.

On Apache and LiteSpeed the zip contains a .htaccess file. It is hidden by default; turn on Show Hidden Files in the File Manager settings to check that it was extracted.

3. Choose the PHP version

In Select PHP Version (or MultiPHP Manager), choose PHP 8.2 or newer.

4. Run the installer

Open https://your-domain.com/install.php and follow the steps:

  1. Requirements: fix anything marked red, then continue. Folder permissions of 755 are normally enough. Items with a lightbulb are recommendations and can be skipped.

  2. Database: enter the details from step 1. The host is usually localhost.

  3. Install: creates the tables and default content.

  4. Admin account and Site details.

5. Done

The installer locks itself and deletes install.php. Sign in at https://your-domain.com/admin, then continue with First Steps After Installation.

Installing in a subfolder

Extract the zip into the subfolder (for example public_html/download) and open https://your-domain.com/download/install.php. Everything else works the same.

Hosting without URL rewriting

If URL rewriting is not available, the installer notices it and switches to links like index.php/en/blog. Nothing else changes.
