Instructions for Installing Moodle CMS in the Brainy Control Panel.
To install Moodle CMS, log in to your Brainy control panel using the credentials provided in your activation email.

Alternatively, use the information from your Client Area.

In the Brainy control panel, go to the «WWW / Sites» section to add your domain.

In the «Domain» field, enter your domain name.
The other fields will be filled in automatically and don’t need to be edited unless necessary. Click «Add».

Now, we need to download Moodle. The best way is to get it from the official website:
https://download.moodle.org/releases/latest/

The downloaded archive needs to be uploaded to your account.
You can use any FTP client you prefer (e.g., FileZilla) or the File Manager in the Brainy control panel.

In the File Manager, navigate to the «sites / Domain_Name» folder.

The default index.html file needs to be deleted.
Click on the file once to select it, then click the «Delete» icon.

Click «Upload files» to upload the downloaded archive.

Once the upload is complete, extract the archive by selecting the file and clicking the «Extract archive» button.

In the pop-up window, select «Here»:

After extraction, you will see a folder named «moodle» with all the files.
Now, move all the files from this folder to the root directory of your website:
1. Open the «moodle» folder.
2. Click on any file, then press CTRL+A to select all files and folders.
3. Right-click the selection and choose «Cut» from the context menu.

Next, go to the root folder of your website by clicking the folder name in the left-hand directory tree or by clicking the «Up» button.

In the right-hand file panel, right-click and select «Paste» from the context menu.

Now, to start the installation, you need to create a database. Navigate to the «DB / MySQL Database» section.

Enter the database name, such as moodle, and click «Add database».

You also need to create a database user. Enter the «Login» and «Password», then click «Add User».

At the bottom of the page, link the created user to the database:

• Select the database user from the list (if multiple users were created).
• Select the appropriate database.
• Check the «Select all» option.
• Click «Save».

All preparatory steps are complete. Now, proceed with the installation.
Open your browser and go to your website, for example, «sitemoodle.com».
Choose your preferred interface language and click «Next».

On the next page, there’s no need to make any changes. Just click «Next».

On the next page, there’s no need to make any changes either. Just click «Next».

On the next page, click «Continue».
