I do not want for many files to be put on root directory. therefore, I installed Habari by the following methods.

1. first, install Habari in the subdirectory (e.g. /habari/).
2. create /index.php file in your text editor and save the following line:

   
   <?php
   include('habari/index.php');
   ?>
   

3. create /.htaccess file in your text editor and save the following line:

   
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule ^(system|3rdparty|scripts)/(.*)$ /habari/$1/$2 [L]
   RewriteRule ^user/(themes|plugins|files)/(.*)$ /habari/user/$1/$2 [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
