School Management and Accounting Software

We like to challenge the quality of what we build to make it better. To do so, we try to make the product intuitive, beautiful, and user friendly. Innovation and hard work help to fulfill these requirements. I believe in order to innovate we need to think differently. A few months ago I discovered there was no open source free school management software that met my quality standards. I happen to know a bit of programming so I decided to make one. I also believe that working with more people can push the standard higher than working alone. So I decided to make it open source and free.

How to Start

Here are some basic steps to start using this application

• Run php composer.phar install to install Laravel packages

• Create .env file from .env.example and generate APP_KEY using php artisan key:generate

• Set the database connection configuration in .env file

• To create a Master, go to the database\seeds\UsersTableSeeder.php and change the name, the email and the password settings to your likings. Leave the other settings (role, active, verfied) unchanged!

• To create the tables, run php artisan migrate.

• To seed the tables with fake data, use php artisan db:seed.

• If you want to run the migration and the seeding together, use php artisan migrate:refresh --seed

• You must seed database\seeds\UsersTableSeeder.php at least once in order to create the Master account. To do so, follow these steps:

  • comment all the seeders except $this->call(UsersTableSeeder::class); in database\seeds\DatabaseSeeder.php;
  • then comment factory(App\User::class, 200)->create(); in UsersTableSeeder.php.

  So your files will look something like this:

  In database\seeds\DatabaseSeeder.php:

  ...
  //$this->call(SectionsTableSeeder::class);
  $this->call(UsersTableSeeder::class);
  //$this->call(AttendancesTableSeeder::class);
  ...
  

  In database\seeds\UsersTableSeeder.php:

  ...
  //factory(App\User::class, 200)->create();
  

Create a school and an admin

• Important: only a master can create a new school and its admins!
• Login at example.com\login using your Master account credentials
• Create a new school
• Create a new admin for the newly created school

Manage a school

• Important: A master CANNOT manage a school's data!
• Login as admin at example.com\login
• Now add data to the school as required.

Good to know

• In .env, turn APP_DEBUG to false for production environment.
• You can switch to and from maintenance mode by running php artisan up and php artisan down.
