cd /var/www/html/OCSNG
./setup.sh

Answer yes to all question.
It will install OCS Inventory in /var/www/html/OCSNG directory

Now restart your webserver.
service httpd restart

Go to http://your_server_ip/OCSNG/ocsreports
Enter your mysql username, password and hostname

If everything goes well, you should see a long list of steps the installer completed. If not, fix the problems and try again. If it succeeded, go ahead and click the submit query button at the very bottom of the page. You can now login to the web interface with username and password of both admin. You can change the default password at the top right-hand side of the browser window.
