Batoi Press keeps the publishing path intentionally small: download the package, install it on PHP hosting, create the owner account, and begin managing pages or posts.

First Steps

Download the stable package from Batoi Press downloads.
Verify the SHA-256 checksum before deployment.
Upload public_html/, radpress/, README.md, and LICENSE.
Open /install.php and create the owner account.
Sign in to /admin/login to manage content.

What You Manage

Pages for static site content.
Posts for dated or serial content.
Media through the admin area.
Menus and settings through JSON-backed configuration.
Themes and theme templates through constrained admin surfaces.
User lifecycle, cache clearing, static export, AIF status, audit log review, and guarded update checks from admin surfaces.

Default Public Routes

The current Batoi Press build includes public routes for:

/
/about
/blog
/blog/first-blog-post
/sitemap.xml
/feed.xml

The admin area includes surfaces for searchable pages, posts, media, menus, settings, themes, users, cache, static export, audit log, AIF status, and updates. The console is grouped into Overview, Publish, Site, Governance, and Intelligence sections.

What You Do Not Need

A database server.
Composer, Node.js, Docker, or CLI access for runtime use.
A Batoi Platform account for normal installation.
