Step 1 -------- You need a checkout of the PPI framework. Check this out to a folder for example: /var/www/ppi-framework/ Checkout the PPI Skeleton App to a folder for example: /var/www/ppi-skeleton-app/ Update your skeleton app's index.php to include the framework's path/init.php file. For example: include_once('../ppi-framework/PPI/init.php'); Step 2 -------- -> You need to update the skeleton apps config file to suit your HTTP path. The config file is located: /var/www/ppi-skeleton-app/App/Config/general.ini This config file has two sections, [development] and [production]. By default you'll be editing [development] system.base_url = http://localhost/ppi-skeleton-app/ <-- Note this must end in a slash. You are ready to go!
