We strongly recomment to use a ` utf8mb4 ` database collation, as it has the best compatibillity with smileys and other non standard symbols. (You can't tell the enduser, that they can't use smileys. Trust me, I tried.)
* create a new mysql-database. Please use `utf8_general_ci` as your collation.
* create a new mysql-user that can edit the database.
* Download the latest release. You can download it [here (tar.gz)](https://gitlab.com/bluekay/shopping-list/-/archive/master/shopping-list-master.tar.gz) or [here (zip)](https://gitlab.com/bluekay/shopping-list/-/archive/master/shopping-list-master.zip)
* unpack the archive and copy its content to `/var/www/html/shopping-list`
* grant your web server permission to write the config-file
