### OTE v2
To get started with the development of OTE v2, you will need to have PHP and Composer installed on your system.

git clone https://github.com/attogram/ote.git

composer install
```
3. **Create the environment file:**

php artisan key:generate
```
### Testing
For information on how to run the test suite, please see the [Testing Documentation](tests/README.md).
### Git Hooks
This project includes a pre-commit hook that runs `pint` and `phpstan` to ensure code quality before each commit. To use it, you need to create a symbolic link from `.git/hooks/pre-commit` to the script.
From the root of the project, run the following command:
```bash
ln -s ../../bin/pre-commit.sh .git/hooks/pre-commit
```
### Deployment
This project is configured for automated deployment on [Render](https://render.com/). For detailed instructions on how to deploy your own instance, please see the [Render Deployment Guide](docs/render.md).
### Development
For information on setting up a development environment, please see the following guides:
- [GitHub Codespaces](docs/github-codespaces.md)
- [Docker](docs/docker.md)

## Known Issues
### Laravel Dusk
At the time of writing, there are known issues with running Laravel Dusk in some development environments.
The test runner (Pest) seems to have a conflict with how Dusk's test cases are discovered,
which can lead to errors. Additionally, there can be issues with the ChromeDriver and Chrome binary setup.
For these reasons, browser testing with Dusk has been temporarily disabled.
## OTE v1
The previous version of OTE is still available.
The last stable release was **OTE v0.9.9**: [v0.9.9 branch](https://github.com/attogram/ote/tree/v0.9.9)
