Installation confusion from first time user
I am terribly confused about what needs to be downloaded for Providence to work. And yes, I read the wiki. I really need step-by-step instructions because I am not a coder.

What operating system are you going to use? Are you installing the program to a server or on a local desktop machine? Providence is based on running a server which uses Apache2, MySQL/MariaDB, and PHP, therefore, the first step is to install those programs. What OS you plan to run the program on will determine how to install the server.
