Download Chart Director from http://www.advsofteng.com/. There are several versions there, you should get 'Chart Director for PHP'. Select the appropriate download for your server.
Unzip the file, read and follow the installation instructions. You may have to change your php configuration to support dynamic extensions. If so, you must restart either IIS or apache for the changes to take effect.
Test the installation by trying to display the sample charts in your web browser.
If you are running on Linux, note that php may have 2 php.ini files, depending on if php is invoked from apache or the command line. Appx will be invoking it from command line, so any changes you make to /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini should also be made to /etc/php5/cli/php.ini (paths may be different on your system).
You are now ready to try to run the examples in 1CD. Go into Application Design & review the paths in the SET IMAGE PATH subroutine. Change as required. The sample charts will still display if this path is incorrect, they will just be missing some icons.
Run the menu in 1CD, and follow the instructions.
If you are running on Windows and if .CHART RENDER ERROR contains "'php' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." you should reboot your server so that changes made to the PATH variable during PHP installation can take full effect.
