Prerequisites

  • PHP >= 8.0
  • Composer
  • npm or yarn
  • Database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc.)

Steps

1. Clone the aptree Repository

First, clone the aptree repository from GitHub (or wherever your project is hosted) to your local machine.

gh repo clone Aptree-Learning/Community_Edition

2. Navigate to the Project Directory

Navigate into the aptree directory.

cd aptree

3. Install PHP Dependencies

Run the following command to install the necessary PHP dependencies.

composer install

4. Install JavaScript Dependencies

Next, install all JavaScript dependencies using npm.

npm install

5. Set Up Environment Variables

Copy the .env.example file to create a new .env file.

cp .env.example .env

6. Generate Application Key

Generate a new application key for your Laravel application.

php artisan key:generate

7. Set Up Database

Edit the .env file to add your database credentials.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_database_name
DB_USERNAME=your_database_username
DB_PASSWORD=your_database_password

then migrate the database

php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed

8. Compile Assets

Compile your assets using npm.

npm run dev

or if you are using yarn

yarn dev

9. Run the Development Server

Finally, start the Laravel development server.

php artisan serve

This will start the development server, and your aptree platform will now be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:8000

That's it! You've successfully set up aptree using the TALL stack on your localhost. Explore the platform and enjoy the advanced features for modern learning and content management!
