Quickstart

Installation

If you are already familiar with Laravel and setting up a Laravel application with Nginx or Apache, just follow these instructions. If not, visit our wiki for clear instructions on how to install everything you need!

Linux

1. Create a folder and give your current user ownership of it.

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/runemanager
sudo chown $USER:$USER /var/www/html/runemanager

2. Clone RuneManager via Git to the newly created folder.

cd /var/www/html/runemanager
git clone https://github.com/Zlimon/RuneManager-OSRS.git .

3. Next, install the RuneManager dependencies with Composer and clean up the installation files.

composer install
php artisan clear-compiled

4. Copy the .env-example file into a file named .env, and edit the .env file with your favourite editor and set the environment variables.
5. Generate an encryption key and link a storage syslink (this is where newspost images are stored).

php artisan key:generate
php artisan storage:link

6. Populate the database with the necassery tables and relations.

php artisan migrate:fresh

7. Create a crontab job schedule so the hiscores on the website are regularly updated.

crontab -e
* * * * * php /var/www/runemanager/artisan schedule:run

8. Change the group ownership of the storage and bootstrap/cache directories to www-data, and then recursively grant all permissions, including write and execute, to the group.

sudo chgrp -R www-data storage bootstrap/cache
sudo chmod -R ug+rwx storage bootstrap/cache
