>current release 0.9.7
This documentation explains how to install, enhance and use OpenCATS, the free open-source applicant tracking system 'opencats' available at opencats.org
The current OpenCATS release is 0.9.7 and the most recent release will always be available at https://github.com/opencats/opencats/releases
The main dependencies for this software are PHP and MariaDB. PHP 7.2 and MariaDB 10.6 are the most recent versions supported. Higher levels may work, but are untested
Note: MySQL is now unsupported due to some divergence between MariaDB and MySQL. MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL. Additional utilities (antiword, html2text, unrtf, etc) are necessary for full-text indexing of uploaded resume's. These are not required for installing OpenCATS, and can be added in later.
If you want a simple install, then please check you've downloaded and installed the *-full package on the releases page https://github.com/opencats/opencats/releases and not the source code or have cloned the master repository.
If you've done either of the last two, you'll need to download and run composer https://getcomposer.org/) to pick up the dependencies which are already bundled in the -*full package.
To avoid pulling in development packages, run composer install with the --no-dev option
composer install --no-dev
This documentation is coming along nicely, albeit slowly. If you have corrections or requests for anything that should be included in this documentation, please submit a PR to this documentation on github (there's a link in the top right-hand corner of this page!).
