  • Migration System — Version-controlled database schema management
  • Installation Wizard — 6-step web-based setup (DB config, admin account, site settings)

Quick Install

composer create-project jongi-theautodidact/ntoshisoft-framework my-app
cd my-app

Post-Installation: Running the Setup Wizard

After installation, the framework guides you through a 6-step web-based wizard to configure your application.

1. Live Server Prerequisite

Important: On a live server, before running the install wizard, you must rename .htaccess-bkp to .htaccess in the project root. Without this, the browser will display a blank page because Apache URL rewriting will not be active.

mv .htaccess-bkp .htaccess

This step is not required on localhost (XAMPP) since the app is accessed directly via the public/ directory.

2. Copy the Environment File

cp .env.example .env

3. Open the Installer in Your Browser

Navigate to the appropriate URL for your environment:

Environment URL
Localhost (XAMPP) http://localhost/{project-directory}/public
Live Server https://your-domain.com

Note: The app is served via Apache (XAMPP or production). Do not use php jongi serve or php jongi spinit — the framework is designed to run through a proper web server.

You'll be redirected to the Installation Wizard (install.php).

Open http://localhost:5001 and follow the 6-step wizard.
