folder to your server using FTP or SFTP client.

3. Installer:
-------------

Now that you have uploaded files to your server you can run activeCollab 
installer (located in /public/installer) and follow the on screen instructions.
You'll then be prompted to provide the license file.

When you are done with the installer you should delete /public/installer folder 
from your server.
