🧩 Installation Guide

1. Upload backend files to your server, create database, configure .env or config file with DB and API URL.
2. Ensure your server has FFmpeg/FFprobe installed; else video upload and processing will fail. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}
3. Import provided SQL schema and run any setup script/migration.
4. Open Android Studio project → update package name, app name/logo, API base URL in config file.
5. Configure Firebase project (for push notifications) and Google Sign-In or social login if included.
6. Test video recording, uploading, feed, comments and sharing on device/emulator.
7. Build signed release APK/AAB and publish to Google Play with privacy policy (video uploads, live streaming).
