## Quick Start
### Requirements
- PHP 8.1+ with required extensions (pdo_mysql, mbstring, intl, gd, etc.)
- Composer
- Node.js 18+ and Yarn
- MariaDB/MySQL
- A web server pointing to public/ (or PHP built‑in server for local use)
### Local (Development)
1. Clone the repo and install dependencies:
- composer install
- yarn install && yarn build
2. Configure database and app settings:
- Create `config\config.php` (based on `config\config.default.php`) or set environment variables.
- Keep only the variables you want to override in `config\config.php`.
3. Create a database/schema in your DB server.
- run `bin/migrate`
4. Serve the app locally (example):
- `php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 -t public`
5. Run the installer in your browser:
- http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/install
- Ensure these env vars are set for the installer:
- `APP_ENABLE_INSTALL_WORKFLOW=true`
- `APP_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD=your_secure_password_here`
### Docker
- Development (mounted sources):
1) `cd docker\dev`
2) `docker compose up -d`
3) Open http://127.0.0.1/admin/install
- Optional: edit `docker\dev\deployment.env` to set `APP_*` variables.
- Basic compose:
1) `cd docker`
2) `docker compose up -d`
3) Open http://localhost/admin/install
- Optional: edit `docker\deployment.env` to set `APP_*` variables.
