unzip kanboard-<version>.zip
chown -R apache:apache kanboard-<version>/data
rm kanboard-<version>.zip
```

SELinux restrictions
--------------------

If SELinux is enabled, be sure that the Apache user can write to the directory data:

```bash
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /var/www/html/kanboard/data
```

Be sure to configure your server to allow Kanboard to send emails and make external network requests, by example with SELinux:

```bash
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1
```

Allowing external connections is necessary if you use LDAP, SMTP, Web hooks or any third-party integration.

Notes
-----

Some features of Kanboard require that you run [a daily background job](cronjob.markdown).
