Update INSTALL.md with opensourcepos.org short URL

- Preferred install URL: https://opensourcepos.org/install
- Falls back to direct GitHub URL if redirect unavailable
- More professional and easier to remember

-# If not configured, the application will default to 'localhost',

-# Configure this with all domains/subdomains that host your application:
-# - Primary domain
-# - WWW subdomain (if used)

-#   Multiple domains:
-#     app.allowedHostnames.0 = 'example.com'
-#     app.allowedHostnames.1 = 'www.example.com'

-# GitHub Actions
-
-This document describes the CI/CD workflows for OSPOS.
-
-## Build and Release Workflow (`.github/workflows/build-release.yml`)
-
-### Build Process
-- Setup PHP 8.2 with required extensions
-- Setup Node.js 20
-- Install composer dependencies
-- Install npm dependencies
-- Build frontend assets with Gulp
-
-### Docker Images
-- Build and push `opensourcepos` Docker image for multiple architectures (linux/amd64, linux/arm64)
-- On master: tagged with version and `latest`
-- On other branches: tagged with version only
-- Pushed to Docker Hub
-
-### Releases
-- Create distribution archives (tar.gz, zip)
-- Create/update GitHub "unstable" release on master branch only
-
-## Required Secrets
-
-To use this workflow, you need to add the following secrets to your repository:
-
-1. **DOCKER_USERNAME** - Docker Hub username for pushing images
-2. **DOCKER_PASSWORD** - Docker Hub password/token for pushing images
-
-### How to add secrets
-
-1. Go to your repository on GitHub
-2. Click **Settings** → **Secrets and variables** → **Actions**
-3. Click **New repository secret**
-4. Add `DOCKER_USERNAME` and `DOCKER_PASSWORD`
-
-The `GITHUB_TOKEN` is automatically provided by GitHub Actions.
-
-## Workflow Triggers
-
-- **Push to master** - Runs build, Docker push (with `latest` tag), and release
-- **Push to other branches** - Runs build and Docker push (version tag only)
-- **Push tags** - Runs build and Docker push (version tag only)
-- **Pull requests** - Runs build only (PHPUnit tests run in parallel via phpunit.yml)
-
-## Existing Workflows
-
-This repository also has these workflows:
-- `.github/workflows/main.yml` - PHP linting with PHP-CS-Fixer
-- `.github/workflows/phpunit.yml` - PHPUnit tests (runs on all PHP versions 8.1-8.4)
-- `.github/workflows/php-linter.yml` - PHP linting
-
-## Testing
-
-PHPUnit tests are run separately via `.github/workflows/phpunit.yml` on every push and pull request, testing against PHP 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4.
-
-To test the build workflow:
-1. Add the required secrets
-2. Push to master or create a PR
-3. Monitor the Actions tab in GitHub

-# Agent Instructions
-
-This document provides guidance for AI agents working on the Open Source Point of Sale (OSPOS) codebase.
-
-## Code Style
-
-- Follow PHP CodeIgniter 4 coding standards
-- Run PHP-CS-Fixer before committing: `vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix --config=.php-cs-fixer.no-header.php`
-- Write PHP 8.1+ compatible code with proper type declarations
-- Use PSR-12 naming conventions: `camelCase` for variables and functions, `PascalCase` for classes, `UPPER_CASE` for constants
-
-## Development
-
-- Create a new git worktree for each issue, based on the latest state of `origin/master`
-- Commit fixes to the worktree and push to the remote
-
-## Testing
-
-- Run PHPUnit tests: `composer test`
-- Tests must pass before submitting changes
-
-## Build
-
-- Install dependencies: `composer install && npm install`
-- Build assets: `npm run build` or `gulp`
-
-## Conventions
-
-- Controllers go in `app/Controllers/`
-- Models go in `app/Models/`
-- Views go in `app/Views/`
-- Database migrations in `app/Database/Migrations/`
-- Use CodeIgniter 4 framework patterns and helpers
-- Sanitize user input; escape output using `esc()` helper
-
-## Security
-
-- Never commit secrets, credentials, or `.env` files
-- Use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
-- Validate and sanitize all user input

 - Raspberry PI based installations proved to work, see [wiki page here](<https://github.com/opensourcepos/opensourcepos/wiki/Installing-on-Raspberry-PI---Orange-PI-(Headless-OSPOS)>).

-## Security Configuration
-
-### Allowed Hostnames (Required for Production)
-
-OpenSourcePOS validates the Host header against a whitelist to prevent Host Header Injection attacks (GHSA-jchf-7hr6-h4f3). **You must configure this for production deployments.**
-
-Add the following to your `.env` file:
-
-```
-app.allowedHostnames.0 = 'yourdomain.com'
-app.allowedHostnames.1 = 'www.yourdomain.com'
-```
-
-**For local development**, use:
-```
-app.allowedHostnames.0 = 'localhost'
-```
-
-If `allowedHostnames` is not configured:
-1. A security warning will be logged
-2. The application will fall back to 'localhost' as the hostname
-3. This means URLs generated by the application (links, redirects, etc.) will point to 'localhost'
-
-### HTTPS Behind Proxy
-
-If your installation is behind a proxy with SSL offloading, set:
-```
-FORCE_HTTPS = true
-```
-
 ## Local install
 
-First of all, if you're seeing the message `system folder missing` after launching your browser, that most likely means you have cloned the repository and have not built the project. To build the project from a source commit point instead of from an official release check out [Building OSPOS](BUILD.md). Otherwise, continue with the following steps.
+First of all, if you're seeing the message `system folder missing` after launching your browser, or cannot find `database.sql`, that most likely means you have cloned the repository and have not built the project.  To build the project from a source commit point instead of from an official release check out [Building OSPOS](BUILD.md). Otherwise, continue with the following steps.
 
 1. Download the a [pre-release for a specific branch](https://github.com/opensourcepos/opensourcepos/releases) or the latest stable [from GitHub here](https://github.com/opensourcepos/opensourcepos/releases). A repository clone will not work unless know how to build the project.
 2. Create/locate a new MySQL database to install Open Source Point of Sale into.
-3. Unzip and upload Open Source Point of Sale files to the web-server.
-4. If `.env` does not exist, copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
-5. Open `.env` and modify credentials to connect to your database if needed.
-6. The database schema will be automatically created when you first access the application. Migrations run automatically on fresh installs.
+3. Execute the file `app/Database/database.sql` to create the tables needed.
+4. Unzip and upload Open Source Point of Sale files to the web-server.
+5. Open `.env` file and modify credentials to connect to your database if needed. (First copy .env.example to .env and update)
 7. Go to your install `public` dir via the browser.
 8. Log in using
    - Username: admin
    - Password: pointofsale
 9. If everything works, then set the `CI_ENVIRONMENT` variable to `production` in the .env file

+
+## One-line Ubuntu Installation
+
+For a fresh Ubuntu server (20.04 LTS or newer), you can install OSPOS directly with:
+
+```bash
+curl -sSL https://opensourcepos.org/install | sudo bash
+```
+
+> **Note:** This URL redirects to the latest installation script from the official repository. If the redirect is unavailable, use the direct GitHub URL:
+> ```bash
+> curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opensourcepos/opensourcepos/master/scripts/install-ubuntu.sh | sudo bash
+> ```
+
+This script will:
+- Install Apache, MariaDB, PHP 8.2 and required extensions
+- Create a MySQL database and user with a secure random password
+- Download and configure OSPOS
+- Set up Apache virtual host with proper permissions
+- Display login credentials after completion
+
+**Environment Variables (optional):**
+- `DB_NAME` - Database name (default: ospos)
+- `DB_USER` - Database user (default: ospos)
+- `DB_PASS` - Database password (default: auto-generated)
+- `OSPOS_DIR` - Installation directory (default: /var/www/ospos)
+- `OSPOS_BRANCH` - Git branch to install (default: master)
+- `PHP_VERSION` - PHP version (default: 8.2)
+- `APACHE_SERVER_NAME` - Server hostname (default: localhost)
+
+Example with custom settings:
+```bash
+curl -sSL https://opensourcepos.org/install | DB_PASS=mypassword APACHE_SERVER_NAME=pos.example.com sudo -E bash
+```
+
+**Note:** This script is designed for fresh servers. For production use, ensure you configure SSL/TLS certificates after installation.
