Fresh install error

I did a fresh install on my localhost and my host , renamed the config files and set the to 755
When i go to my localhost i get a blank page, when i go to localhost/zc_install/index.php i get a 500 error
Using php 8.0 , latest zc version 1.5.7, no plugins site url is https://www.mysurplus.ca but can't run the install.

Why in the world are you doing a fresh install of zc157 which was released over 4 years ago on 2020-06-23, instead of zc201 which was released 2024-05-19?

Because i searched for zencart download and that is what i came up with. I am on the github site and there is no download link to the latest version so i am lost as to where to even download it

just visit the front page of this site -

Got it now, thanks. Installing

Also, to download from github, look at the right where it says Releases. Under that it says 2.0.1. You can click on that and download a .zip file.
