Note

This was originally going to be a complete suite for a community I was working on. I have since stopped working on that community, and it seems a waste to have this repo sit private. This project is running a custom PHP stack based on Laravel with a themed version of Fomantic UI for the front end. Feel free to learn from it or something.

Requirements

1. A PHP 7.4 server.
2. Composer, the PHP package manager
3. An SQL database
4. A Redis server. PHP extensions may be required
5. NodeJS & NPM.

First time setup

1. Rename and configure config.php.
2. Run composer install.
3. Create a cache folder in the root directory, permissions may need to be changed.
4. Rename sample.config.php to config.php and configure it.
5. Run php vendor/bin/phinx migrate in the root directory.
6. Run php vendor/bin/phinx seed:run in the root directory.
7. Run npm install -g gulp.
8. Run npm install.
9. Run cd node_modules/fomantic-ui.
10. Run npx gulp build.
11. Start up the Redis & SQL server.
12. Profit?
