GetDown - A Laravel-based Markdown manager

This is a simple Markdown manager written in Laravel and using Boostrap. Its more a proof-of-concept and not really ready for production... yet.

Requirements

• Suitable server (LAMP-based)
• A MySQL database for use with Bookmarks (utf8 should be fine)
• Bower (and thus Node/NPM)

Up and Running

Create your MySQL database and clone this repo into a new vhost/web dir.

Run composer's install option to grab everything for Laravel:

composer install

Run bower's install option to grab all of the required .js/.css (public/assets/vendor):

bower install

Copy over .env.example so you have your own preferences file:

cp .env.example .env

Edit it and modify the last 4 lines:

nano .env

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=getdown
DB_USERNAME=user
DB_PASSWORD=password

Run Laravel/artisan to generate a new app key:

php artisan key:generate

Run the migrations and database seeders to get you up and running:

php artisan migrate

php artisan db:seed

Set permissions appropriately

chmod -R 777 /my/getdown/webroot

Default user/password is: admin@localhost/password
