Method 2 – Standalone (non-WordPress) #

Perfect for dedicated accounting-only servers.

1. Download the standalone package from bizuno.com/download/
2. Extract all files to your web root (e.g., /var/www/html/bizuno)
3. Create a blank MySQL database and user
4. Browse to your domain → you are taken straight to the installer
5. Fill in:

• Database host (usually localhost)
• Database name, user, password
• Admin email & password

1. Click Install → wait 30-60 seconds
2. Success! Log in with the credentials you just created

First Login & Security Best Practices #

After any installation method:

1. You will land on /bizuno/login.php (or via WP admin menu)
2. Default admin user: admin (change this immediately!)
3. Immediately go to My Company → Users → admin → Edit and:

• Change username from “admin” to something unique
• Set a strong password (20+ characters)
• Enable Two-Factor Authentication (highly recommended)
