Installation

Prerequisites

you'll need PHP.

Linux users follow this guide wikiHow to Install LAMP.
Windows users follow this guide wikiHow to Install XAMPP.
Alternatively, Windows users can use WAMPSERVER

you'll need SQLITE3 driver.

For linux users:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-sqlite3

For windows users, you don't have to install anything.

VHost

You can also set it up with a virtual host if you constantly use it.

Linux users follow this guide How to set up Apache virtual hosting.
Windows users follow this guide Full guideline to make VHOST (Virtual Host) on XAMPP/WAMP.

Step 1

Open CMD/Terminal and follow these instructions:

cd to/wherever/you/want
git clone https://github.com/aprilmintacpineda/time-tracker.git

Once that's done, a folder called time-tracker will be created for you, this folder will contain the app itself.

Step 2

Create a file called database.sqlite in time-tracker/database folder.

Step 3

Install dependencies.

// php dependencies
composer install
composer run post-root-package-install
composer run post-create-project-cmd
// javascript dependencies
npm install
// make sure that things are good
npm run test
// if the test does not show any failure, continue
// else open an issue on the repository and copy paste the result.
npm run build:production
php artisan migrate

Step 4

Open .env file and update the APP_TIMEZONE to whatever timezone you are in. By default, it's set to Asia/Manila. I recommend using https://timezonedb.com/time-zones to search for the timezone that's right for you.

Step 5

Use it.

Don't do this if:

You set it up for vhost. You know what to do from here.
You are using XAMPP, just go to http://localhost/time-tracker/public

Do this if:

You're having trouble setting it up on a vhost.
You're having trouble opening it with XAMPP.

// this will create a server on localhost:8000
php artisan serve

I hope you find it useful! :-)
