Skuul school management system

In search of good school management systems written in laravel, I tried so many although most were quite remarkably good they lacked some essential features that I would have loved in a school management system.This made me passionate in building my own school management system. Although it has been difficult, it's actually forming up into a quite useable project.

CONGRATS V2 OF SKUUL IS OUT

Skuul is awesome, but it had a few shortcomings when it came to some areas like UI speed and application slugishness as it grows. Version 2 fixes these issues and also improves on accessibility.

V2 is way faster and doesn't slow down condiderably as the app grows. Also upgrading should be relatively easy. Requirements remain the same with one exception, we now require node for asset bundling. No worries if you don't have node, there is a solution to that

Skuul is a multi school management system that aims to make school administration and activities a breeze by using the power of the internet and increased connectinity

Requirements

Php 8.1 and above
Composer
Since this project is running laravel 9, we suggest checking out the official requirements here
Npm

Installation

To skip steps 4 down ( after composer install ), you can run the below command and it would guide you through the process automatically

php artisan skuul:init

Clone the repository by running the following command in your comamand line below (Or you can dowload zip file from github)

git clone https://github.com/yungifez/skuul ./skuul

Head to the project's directory

cd skuul

Install composer dependancies

composer install

Copy .env.example file into .env file and configure based on your environment

cp .env.example .env

Install node dependencies

npm install

Build NPM assets

  npm run build

Note if you do not have node, you can do this in your local environment and using an ftp program upload the publi/build folder and manifest.json folder to your server

Generate encryption key

php artisan key:generate

Migrate the database

php artisan migrate

Seed database

You can seed the database in 2 ways
- For production ie in your live server
```
php artisan db:seed --class RunInProductionSeeder
```
- For testing or development purposes
```
php artisan db:seed
```
Seed database to populate countries (takes approximately 10 minutes)

php artisan db:seed --class=WorldSeeder

Set application logo by adding it in the public img folder and edit the .env logo path appropriately
Store favicon in path public/favicons/, the file should be called favicon.ico
For development or testing purposes, you can use the laravel built in server by running

php artisan serve

If you are running on production, visit your domain to verify it is working

After running the above commands, you should be able to access the application at http::/localhost or your designated domain name depending on configuration.

Updating

Typically, you can update most of the time following these steps

clone the new version
composer update
php artisan optimize:clear
php artisan migrate (Make sure to backup database)
php artisan db:seed --class RunInProductionSeeder

Setup
