#BrickPile is a lightweight CMS built on RavenDB and ASP.NET MVC 5. [![NuGet Version](http://img.shields.io/nuget/v/BrickPile.svg?style=flat)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/BrickPile/) [![NuGet Downloads](http://img.shields.io/nuget/dt/BrickPile.svg?style=flat)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/BrickPile/)

## Requirements

### Brace yourself, BrickPile makes the following demands:

* ASP.NET MVC 5 and Web Api

* [RavenDB](http://ravendb.net/)

**And that's about it.** A slight bit of knowledge about ASP.NET MVC development is also required.

##Installing

###Getting Installed

Installing BrickPile is simply the act of writing a single PowerShell command inside the package manager console.

  PM> Install-Package BrickPile

**And that's basically it.** Of course you need an empty ASP.NET MVC 5 web application with Web Api.

##Configuration

As default BrickPile will run RavenDB in embedded mode and store the documents in `~\App_Data\Raven`. This can easily be configured to use an other location or RavenDB server. The following example shows how to use RavenDB server.

```xml

    

```

**Note:** To run BrickPile with RavenDB server you need to [download](http://ravendb.net/download) it and execute `[RavenDBdir]\Server\Raven.Server.exe`. For more configuration options see [RavenDB documentation](http://ravendb.net/documentation).

### Assets configuration

In order to use Assets you have to change two things.

In `Global.asax`, add:

`HostingEnvironment.RegisterVirtualPathProvider(new NativeVirtualPathProvider());`

And then make sure that your `web.config` has the correct PhysicalPath and that the directory exist:

```xml

    

```

**Note:** The PhysicalPath can also be relative to the site root like this `~/App_Data/Static`

## Setup

When the configuration is done just hit `F5` inside Visual Studio, this will hopefully bring up the setup screen.

Fill the form with the correct information and hit "Let's do this" and your done.
