Social and Economic Networks

Social and Economic Networks (affectionately known as SEN) is a PHP application written using the Symfony Framework. It is a digital tool for collecting census data in the antebellum south.

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 sen;
     CREATE DATABASE sen;
     DROP USER IF EXISTS sen@localhost;
     CREATE USER sen@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'abc123';
     GRANT ALL ON sen.* TO sen@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 sen < sen.sql
    
  8. Visit http://localhost/sen

  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.
