Quick Apps

Kythia Workspace eliminates the hassle of manually downloading, extracting, and configuring popular web applications. With the Quick Apps feature, you can spin up a fully functional CMS or database manager in seconds.

How to Install a Quick App

Open Quick Apps

Navigate to the Quick Apps tab in the sidebar. Ensure your Web Server (Nginx/Apache) and PHP are running.

Choose an App

Browse the list of available applications.

Install

Click the Install button next to your desired app. Kythia will automatically download the latest version, extract it into a dedicated folder within your server's document root, and configure it for immediate access.

Supported Applications

Kythia currently supports one-click installations for a wide variety of tools:

Accessing Installed Apps

Once installed, the "Install" button will change to an "Open" button. Clicking it will instantly open the application in your default web browser, usually mapped to a subdirectory of your localhost (e.g., http://localhost/phpmyadmin).

When installing CMS platforms like WordPress or Drupal, you will still need to walk through their famous "5-minute install" screens in the browser to set up your database connection and admin credentials.
