STUDIO on cPanel 1. DATABASE: cPanel > MySQL Databases. Create a database and a user, give the user ALL PRIVILEGES. cPanel adds a prefix, e.g. myacct_studio and myacct_user. Then phpMyAdmin > select that database > Import > database/schema.sql. 2. CONFIG: edit public_html/api/config.php. Set the dsn database name, user and password to the ones you made. 3. UPLOAD: File Manager > open public_html > upload everything INSIDE the public_html folder of this zip (index.html, .htaccess, api/ ...). Turn on "Show Hidden Files" so .htaccess is visible. Set api/storage permissions to 755. 4. OPEN: visit https://yourdomain.com . index.html opens straight away. 5. SIGN IN: Settings tab > create an account, then use Save project to cloud. NOT ON CPANEL: worker/ (stem splitting, Python + Demucs) and collab/ (Node live collaboration) need a VPS or GPU server. The studio works without them; the Split stems button needs the worker. Put the same database details in the worker's environment (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS) and point STORE at api/storage.
