# Installation

IMPORTANT: If you are installing to the beta version of Lagom WHMCS Client Theme 2.3.0-b1, please refer to the installation information HERE.

This article will walk you through the steps necessary to install our Lagom WHMCS Client Theme on servers where this theme has not been installed previously. We will guide you carefully through the whole installation process.

# Module Requirements

Below is a list of requirements for latest product version:

  1. Requires IonCube Loader 12.x and later.
  2. Supports PHP 7.2.x and later.

IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended to increase the "Server Timeout" (max_execution_time) setting to a minimum of 300 seconds during the installation or update of this product. Once the installation or upgrade process is complete, you can reset the server timeout to its default value.

During the initial activation of our product, the addon creates all necessary databases and loads the required configuration. If this process is interrupted due to insufficient "Server Timeout" (max_execution_time) duration, our addon may not function correctly or may not work at all. This could result in missing features or errors related to missing databases on your WHMCS pages.

If the server interrupts the addon activation, you may need to deactivate the RS Themes addon using the "Clear Database Records" option and then activate it again. However, it is strongly recommended to increase the "Server Timeout" (max_execution_time) setting before performing this action.
