* install PHP composer dependencies: `cd ./web && composer install`
* create a Database and import the schema from `sql/create.sql`
* create your own `.env` file: `cp env.example .env` and adapt it to your needs
* create a webserver vhost with document root to the `public` directory
* add tasks and contacts into the database (no backend yet)

* run the script: `cd /var/www/<your-path> && php artisan monitolite:monitoring:run`
* check the output of the command for results.
