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
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.
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
Now go to http://your_site_domain/ and have fun!
$ git clone https://github.com/Hifone/Docker.git hifone-docker
$ cd hifone-docker
$ docker build -t hifone --rm .
$ docker run -it --rm -p 0.0.0.0:8081:80 hifone
