How to set up Phabricator (quick start)

Phabricator is a simplified set of tools for project management and management. He can do a lot - tasks, projects, subprojects, tagging, assigning to users, he understands among other things Git reporters, etc. it contains so much that it is a problem to pick up everything and introduce it. It is distributed under Apache license, so it is an opensource tool, running on LAMP server.

But now for the initial setup. It is assumed that you have your LAMP server and can basically manage Nginx (or Apache) and MySQL.
