Installation

Assuming you have PHP and a web server installed, the installation steps are quite simple.

1. Download the source code and extract it
2. Copy the following files to your web server's shared folder (ie. /var/www/html/speedtest for Apache): index.html, speedtest.js, speedtest_worker.js, favicon.ico and the backend folder
3. Optionally, copy the results folder too, and set up the database using the config file in it. Be sure your permissions allow execute (755).
4. Visit YOURSITE/speedtest/index.html and voila!
