🚦 Quick Start

1. Requirements

• PHP 8.2+ with the following extensions:
  • openssl (Required for SSL/TLS operations)
  • zip (Required for certificate bundle downloads)
  • bcmath (Required for large serial number handling)
  • mbstring, xml, curl, ctype, filter (Standard Laravel requirements)
• Node.js 18+ & NPM
• OpenSSL CLI (Ensure it is accessible in your system PATH)

Note

Default PHP installations on Windows (XAMPP/WAMP), Mac (Homebrew), and Linux (apt/yum) often vary. Please ensure the extensions above are enabled in your php.ini.

2. Setup

Option A: Terminal Access

# Clone and enter
git clone https://github.com/twinpath/app.git
cd app

# Install dependencies
composer install
npm install

# Setup environment
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

Option B: Manual (No Terminal/Shared Hosting)

1. Download: Click the "Code" button on GitHub and select Download ZIP, then extract it to your local computer.
2. Dependencies:
   • Run composer install and npm run build on your local computer.
   • Upload the entire project folder to your server via FTP/File Manager, including the vendor and public/build directories.
3. Environment:
   • Rename .env.example to .env using your hosting File Manager.
   • APP_KEY: Since you cannot run key:generate, visit yourdomain.com/key-gen.html to generate a secure key, then paste it into the APP_KEY= field in your .env.

3. Database & Migrations

Option A: Terminal Access (Recommended)

php artisan migrate --seed

Option B: Manual Import (Shared Hosting)

If your hosting does not provide terminal access:

1. Create a new database via your hosting panel (e.g., cPanel MySQL Wizard).
2. Open phpMyAdmin.
3. Select your database and go to the Import tab.
4. Choose the file database/install.sql from this project and click Go.
   • Default Admin: admin@dyzulk.com
   • Default Password: password

🚀 Production Deployment

1. Optimize Environment

Update your .env for production:

APP_ENV=production
APP_DEBUG=false
APP_URL=https://yourdomain.com

2. Assets & Storage Link

Terminal Method

npm run build
php artisan storage:link
php artisan optimize

Manual Method (No Terminal)

1. Assets: Ensure you have uploaded the public/build folder from your local machine after running npm run build.
2. Storage Link: Create a file named link.php in your public/ directory with this content:

   <?php
   symlink(__DIR__.'/../storage/app/public', __DIR__.'/storage');
   echo "Storage link created!";
   

   Visit yourdomain.com/link.php in your browser, then delete the file.
3. Optimization: To clear cache manually, delete all files inside storage/framework/views/ and bootstrap/cache/ (except .gitignore).

Important

Web Server Root: Ensure your domain/subdomain points to the /public directory of this project, not the root folder.

📡 API Endpoints
