Requirements

We have tried to keep the requirements minimal. How you install these requirements is up to you, but we have provided some recommendations

• Apache >= 2.4
• PHP >= 7.4
• Composer >= 2.0
• MariaDB >= 10.8¹
• Yarn >= 1.22

Installation

1. Fork and clone the project from GitHub.

2. Install the git submodules. git submodule update --init is a good way to do this

3. Install composer dependencies with composer install.

4. Install yarn dependencies with yarn install.

5. Create a MariaDB database and user.

    DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS newn;
    CREATE DATABASE newn;
    DROP USER IF EXISTS newn@localhost;
    CREATE USER newn@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'abc123';
    GRANT ALL ON newn.* TO newn@localhost;

6. Copy .env to .env.local and edit configuration to suite your needs.

7. Either 1) create the schema and load fixture data, or 2) load a MySQLDump file if one has been provided.

   1.  php ./bin/console doctrine:schema:create --quiet
       php ./bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load --group=dev --purger=fk_purger

   2. ```bash
     mysql newn < newn.sql
   

8. Visit http://localhost/newn

9. happy coding!

Some of the steps above are made easier with the included MakeFiles which are in a git submodule. If you missed step 2 above they will be missing.

Footnotes

1. A similar version of MySQL should also work, but will not be supported. ↩
