AUREXION Invoice Manager 1.1.6-fresh.1 — New company installation

1. Start Apache and MySQL in XAMPP.
2. Copy the aurexion folder into your XAMPP htdocs folder.
3. Open http://localhost/aurexion/setup.php (include Apache's port if non-default).
4. Enter MySQL host/port, a NEW EMPTY database name and your MySQL credentials.
   Default XAMPP commonly uses host 127.0.0.1, port 3306, user root; use the
   actual password configured on your machine.
5. Choose your own administrator username (3+ characters) and password (10+).
   Click Install database & create login. There is NO shared/default admin password.
   Setup creates the database/tables and blank business workspace automatically.
   Do not import database.sql first; it is supplied as a schema reference.
6. Open login.php thereafter. Configure Invoice settings AND Quotation settings
   separately with the new company's details, numbering prefix, logo and signature.
   Configure quotation notes, footer and background if needed. Save each tab.
7. Verify your A4 preview and Download PDF before sending a document to a client.

Blank installation: no invoices, quotations, clients, payments, existing users,
company contacts, GST/PAN/bank details, old uploaded images or LAN pairing keys.
A new admin account is created only by setup. Generic prefix: INV (editable).
AUREXION Invoice Manager remains the software product name.

Run requirements: PHP 8.0+ with PDO MySQL, Apache honoring .htaccess, MySQL/MariaDB,
writable aurexion/private folder and a current browser. Node is NOT needed to run.
Keep this separate from an existing installation; setup refuses a non-empty DB.
Do not overwrite an existing working app or import someone else's backup unless
that replacement is intended. Back up your database and private folder regularly.

This is a single-machine edition: no cloud import, peer pairing, LAN sync endpoints
or scheduled sync worker. Settings provides full local backup including images
and Local Backup / Restore.

Verification: production frontend build and blank-data checks performed here.
Live Windows XAMPP/MySQL operation need verification locally.

Fixed product branding: AUREXION Invoice Manager. Company name/logo are user-editable.
There is no application setting to remove the product branding. Editable source code
can still be changed by a developer; this is not a tamper-proof licensed binary.
