7. Set the Apache DocumentRoot to the public directory (e.g. /var/www/boilerplate/public).

8. Make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled:

   First, run a2enmod rewrite.

   Then, add the following to your Apache config:

   <Directory /var/www>
               AllowOverride All
               Order allow,deny
               allow from all

Install boilerplate

1. Upload the boilerplate files to Apache's file root (e.g. /var/www/boilerplate).

2. Run composer install

3. Import the database. First create a database with the name of your choice (CREATE DATABASE boilerplate;), then run the following:

   mysql boilerplate < db.sql
   

4. Configure the database appropriately by copying config-sample.ini to config.ini.

By default, all classes are in the acme namespace. To switch to your own namespace, follow these steps, replacing binaro with your desired namespace name.

1. Rename the directory lib/acme to lib/binaro

2. Run

   sed -i '' 's/acme/binaro/g' `find * -type f -print`
