Installation Guide
We have added the installer for easy installation experience and it can be accessed by adding /install at the end url.
Step 1: Preparation
Standard License?
If you have purchased standard license, please run install dependencies before following these steps by running composer install
Requirements
PHP 7.1.3+ & MySQL 5.7.8+, Installer will check other requirements
Installing on cPanel?
Please don't upload the files to public_html directory but create sbm directory one level above (outside public_html) in main directory that is not accessible by public and then upload the files to this sbm directory. Lastly create subdomain that points to the sbm/public directory. Now replace the yourdomain.com below with subdomain.yourdoamin.com
Installing locally?
Please add a virtual host that should point to public directory in sbm full/path/to/sbm/public directory then access the virtual host in browser.
TIP
If you need to install in as main domain yourdomain.com but not subdoamin subdomain.yourdoamin.com, you still follow the above instructions and then create symbolic link for public_html ln -s /sbm/public /public_html. You can check with your host about this and tell them that you was to secure Laravel installation.
You can access the installer by added /install at the end of your domain i.e,
