Quickstart

This quickstart gets you to your first install as fast as possible. We'll skip most of the configuration — you can refine things later once you have something running.

tip

Estimated time: 15–30 minutes (plus Marketplace plugin installs and AI keys).

Steps

1

Upload Hirevia

Extract and upload the contents of hirevia.zip directly into the root directory of your hosting server. For example, this could be /var/www/html/ or /home/username/public_html, depending on the root folder of your domain or subdomain. This will make your website accessible at http://yourwebsitename/.

2

Create the database

After uploading all the files and ensuring that the domain name is correctly configured, create a MySQL database and an appropriate user if you don't already have one. You can create the database manually using your phpMyAdmin panel or use the phpMyAdmin Wizard in your cPanel to set it up.

3

Run the install wizard

You are now prepared to initiate the installation process. Enter https://yourwebsitename in your browser's address bar and press Enter. Complete: For database, Use the server address as localhost and port as 3306.

1. Requirements check  
2. Permissions check  
3. License activation  
4. Database credentials  
5. Owner admin account

Installation complete

Once all required PHP libraries are enabled on your hosting environment, the installation will complete swiftly. You are now fully prepared to begin using the application. The default login credentials are:**Username: admin@gmail.com**Password: admin123456

5

Add cron

* * * * * /usr/bin/php /full/path/to/hirevia/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

See Cron job for more information

Install essentials from Marketplace

In Admin → Marketplace, install and enable:

1. An AI provider (e.g. OpenAI)
2. Text interviews (or Voice / Video)
3. Configure Admin → AI Providers — at least a Scores default, plus the interview job you enabled. Then start a short practice interview as a candidate.
