When you get to this bit, if you select "Y" You will move to the CLI section, if you select "n" you can pick either the GUI or CLI.
All your database details are in /var/www/ticaga/installation_completed_info.txt Please remove this when Ticaga is installed. It's not accessible from the public but it's best practices to remove it.

CLI

cd /var/www/ticaga
sudo -u ticaga php artisan ticaga:setup

If you don't need to change your database details you can select no.

Configure outgoing email settings if required, otherwise select "no".
Note: This configures the .env mail settings and is separate from the Mail Servers configuration in Settings, which is used for ticket management.
