🔧 Installation

⬇️ Downloading and installing steps:

To get the project working, follow these steps:

1. Download Composer dependencies

   Make sure you have Composer installed and then run:

   composer install
   

   You may alternatively need to run php composer.phar install, depending on how you installed Composer.

2. Setup the Database Open .env and make sure the DATABASE_URL setting is correct for your system.

   Then, create the database and the schema!

   php bin/console doctrine:database:create
   php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
   php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load
   

   If you get an error that the database exists, that should be ok. But if you have problems, completely drop the database (doctrine:database:drop --force) and try again.

3. Build your Assets

   To build your assets, install the dependencies with yarn and then run encore:

   yarn install
   yarn run encore dev --watch
   

4. Start the built-in web server You can use Nginx or Apache, but the built-in web server works great:

   php bin/console server:run
