-## Installation
+---
 
-### Step 1
-At the first, You have to [install phpBolt](https://phpbolt.com/download-phpbolt/).
+## Introduction
 
+Many PHP developers need to protect their application source code before they distribute it to their customers and make it difficult for others to modify it without their permission.
 
-### Step 2
+- There are couple of techniques to protect PHP source code:
+
+  - Making the code difficult to read – which involves in minification & obfuscation
+
+  - **Encoding the source code.**
+
+- There are list  of commercial PHP encoders (Zend, ionCube, SourceGuardian, NuCoder, etc).
+
+- A free encoder called **phpBolt** saves you from buying commercial encoders. phpBolt helps to protect your PHP source code by encrypting and decrypting code using a key.
+
+### Benifits of Encoding
+
+- Anyone can reuse your PHP script to any web server or localhost. phpBolt will encrypt your source code with a key.
+- Advance Protection -- Generate a specific key for each customer.
+- Online Encryption -- Encrypt source code from online also possible.
+- Encrypt PHP source code and obfuscate the PHP source code.
+- Prevent your PHP product from the nulled world.
+
+## phpBolt encoder
+
+- The author doesn't care about issues! The author will help you only if you pay for that. (he cannot provide free support)
+- phpBolt loader is an extension used to load PHP files protected and encoded using PHP encoder.
+
+### Guide
+
+1. **Download phpBolt extension for 64-bit System**
+
+    - In order to use phpBolt, you need to [download loader extension](https://phpbolt.com/download-phpbolt/). Look for `bolt.so` inside the corresponding platform folder. ([extension](./assets/phpBolt-extension-1.0.5.zip))
+
+    - Or, directly using following wget command:
+
+        ```bash
+        cd /tmp
+        wget https://phpbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/phpBolt-extension-1.0.5.zip
+        ```
+
+    - Then unzip the downloaded file using the unzip command and move into the decompressed folder.
+
+    - This is a mandatory step. Because PHP engine needs to identify then functions `bolt_encrypt` and `bolt_decrypt` functions.
+
+2. **Install bolt.so extension for PHP**
+
+    - There will be different phpBolt loader files for various PHP versions, you need to select the right phpBolt loader for your installed PHP version on your server.
+
+    - Next, find the location of the extension directory for PHP version **8.2.25** (for example), it is where the phpBolt loader file will be installed. The specified directory from the output of this command:
+
+        ```sh
+        php -i | grep extension_dir
+        # output:
+        # extension_dir => /usr/lib/php/20220829 => /usr/lib/php/20220829
+        ```
+
+    - Copy `bolt.so` from the respective platform folder into the folder where all PHP extensions are stored. In my case, `/usr/lib/php/20220829` was the folder that stores all PHP extensions.
+
+3. **Configure phpBolt Loader for PHP**
+
+    - Find the `php.ini` file and add `extension='/usr/lib/php/20220829/bolt.so'` in `php.ini` file. Then restart your server. Please choose correct `bolt.so` file. `bolt.so` is diffrent for each version and OS.
+
+    - Open `php.ini` as following: `sudo nano /etc/php.ini`
+
+    - Add `blot.so` extension: `extension='/absolute-path/bolt.so'`
+
+    - __Note:__
+        ```text
+        You will be encrypting using CLI,
+        then you have to add extension in: `/etc/php/8.2/cli/php.ini` file,
+        and in: `php/8.2/apache2/php.ini` file to decode the source code.
+        (**Don't forget to restart server**)
+        idem for FPM
+        ```
+      
+    - Remember to replace absolute-path with the path of the extension. In my case: `extension='/usr/lib/php/20220829/bolt.so'`
+
+    - Now we need to restart the Apache, Nginx, or php-fpm web server for the phpBolt loaders to come into effect.
+
+    - Now you have successfully setup bolt loader extension.
