Installation
############
.. _basic-installation:
Basic installation
``````````````````
Chill is written in PHP and use the `symfony framework`_. We take advantages of all the framework's feature, and installation should be as simple as installing symfony.
Requirements
------------
Server requirements
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* a postgresql database, with the `*unaccent* extension`_ enabled. The minimum version is postgresql 9.3, but we are working on developing on the 9.4 branch, which will provide features which will ease developper work
* php 5.5
* If you run Chill in production mode, you should also install a web server (apache, ngnix, ...). We may use php built-in server for testing and development.
Within this documentation, we are going to describe installation on Unix systems (Unix, Mac OS). Windows installation ha not been tested yet.
You won't need any web server for demonstration or development.
.. note::
Installing unaccent extension on ther server is possible with the package `postgresql-contrib-9.x` (replace 9.x with your server version). The extension may be enabled with running `CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;` in the database, with a superuser account.
Client requirements
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Chill is accessible through a web browser. Currently, we focus our support on `Firefox`_, because firefox is open source, cross-platform, and very well active. The software should work with other browser (Chromium, Opera, ...) but some functionalities might break.
Preparation
-----------
You will need those informations :
* The informations to access to your database: host, port, database name, and your credentials (username and password) ;
* a random string, which will be use to improve entropy in security. Choose anything you want (random character, your father's birthplace, ...).
Installation
------------
Chill is installed with `composer`_.
Install composer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. note::
If you do not know composer, it is a good idea to have a glance at `the composer documentation`_
Install composer on your system :
.. code-block:: bash
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Move composer.phar to your system
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.. note::
This part is not necessary, but this will be more convenient for the process. If you do not want to install composer on your system, you will have to replace the commands `composer` by `php composer.phar`.
Install composer globally on you system will made the installation process more convenient. To do this, simply run
.. code-block:: bash
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Then, just run `composer` instead of `php composer.phar`
You can test the installation by running `which composer` or `composer`: those command should not raise any error.
.. note::
See `the composer introduction`_ to learn how to install composer on Mac OS X and Windows
Create your project
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Create your Chill project using composer:
.. code-block:: bash
php composer.phar create-project chill-project/standard \
path/to/your/directory --stability=dev
You should, now, move your cursor to the new directory
.. code-block:: bash
cd path/to/your/directory
.. note::
Until now, the stability of the project is set to "dev". Do not forget this argument, or composer will fail to download and create the project.
Composer will download `the standard architecture`_ and ask you a few question about how to configure your project.
* `database_host` : your postgresql server's address
* `database_port` : the port to reach your postgresql server
* `database_name` : the name of your database
* `database_user` : the username to reach your database
* `database_password` : your username's password
* `locale`: the language, as iso code. Until now, only fr is supported
* `secret`: the secret string you prepared (see "preparation")
You may accept the default parameters of `debug_toolbar`, `debug_redirects` and `use_assetic_controller` for a demonstration installation. For production, set them all to `false`.
.. note::
If composer ask you the following question : ::
Do you want to remove the existing VCS (.git, .svn..) history? [Y,n]?
You may answer `Y` (Yes), or simply press the `return` button.
.. note::
At the end of your installation, composer will warn you to execute database migration script, with this message : ::
Some migration files have been imported. You should run
`php app/console doctrine:migrations:status` and/or
`php app/console doctrine:migrations:migrate` to apply them to your DB.
We will proceed to this step some steps further. See :ref:`create-database-schema`.
Check your requirements
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You should check your installation by running
.. code-block:: bash
php app/check.php
Which will give you information about how your installation fullfill the requirements to running Chill, and give you advices to optimize your installation.
.. _create-database-schema:
Create your database schema
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This step will create your table and minimum information into your database. Simply run
.. code-block:: bash
php app/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
SQL queries will be printed into your console.
Populate your database with basic information
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Once your database schema is ready, you should populate your database with some basic information. Those are provided through scripts and might depends from the bundle you choose to install (see :ref:`install-new-bundles`)
The main bundle require two scripts to be executed :
.. code-block:: bash
php app/console chill:main:countries:populate
php app/console chill:main:languages:populate
Those will populate database, respectively, with countries (using ISO declaration) and languages (using, also, ISO informations).
Launch your server
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If everything was fine, you are able to launch your built-in server :
.. code-block:: bash
php app/console server:run
Your server should now be available at `http://localhost:8000`. Type this address on your browser and you should see the homepage.
