Requirements

There are a few things that you will need to have set up in order to run Gitamin:

A web server: Nginx, Apache (with mod_rewrite), or Lighttpd PHP 5.6.4+ with the following extensions: mbstring, pdo_mysql MySQL or PostgreSQL Composer

Installation

By default Hifone comes with a .env.example file. You'll need to rename this file to just .env regardless of what environment you're working on.

If you're using SQLite then your .env file should not contain a DB_HOST key. You'll also need to touch ./database/hifone.sqlite and give it the required permissions.

Directories within the storage and the bootstrap/cache directories should be writable by your web server or Hifone will not run.

Step 1: Shell

git clone https://github.com/Hifone/Hifone cd Hifone cp .env.example .env vi .env # write database settings composer install --no-dev -o php artisan hifone:install chmod -R 777 storage chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache chmod -R 777 public/uploads

If you have problems to open the Page, enter the Following:

php artisan vendor:publish

Step 2: Browser

Now go to http://your_site_domain/ and have fun!
