# Getting Started

Apex is a simple invoicing solution built on top of Laravel PHP, Vue.js and Webpack. Apex follows standard laravel practices for development and delopyment.

# System Requirements

You will need to make sure your server meets the following requirements:

• Linux Operating System
• Nginx / Apache
• PHP >= 7.1.3
• OpenSSL PHP Extension
• PDO PHP Extension
• Mbstring PHP Extension
• Tokenizer PHP Extension
• XML PHP Extension
• Ctype PHP Extension
• JSON PHP Extension
• MYSQL 5.7+

Apex utilizes Composer to manage its dependencies. So, before using Apex, make sure you have Composer installed on your machine.

# Installation

# Public Directory

After installing Apex, you should configure your web server's document / web root to be the public directory. The index.php in this directory serves as the front controller for all HTTP requests entering your application.

# Directory Permissions

Directories within the storage and the bootstrap/cache directories should be writable by your web server or Apex will not run.

We can give group ownership of our Apex directory structure to the web group by typing:

sudo chown -R :www-data ./apex
sudo chmod -R 775 ./apex/storage
sudo chmod -R 775 /.apex/bootstrap/cache

# Application Config

Next create a new database and add your database credentials to your .env file:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=deployer
DB_USERNAME=deployer
DB_PASSWORD=secret

You will also want to update your website URL inside of the APP_URL variable inside the .env file:

APP_URL=http://www.example.com

# Email

Also setup your email server config in .env to send emails.

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

You may also want to configure a few additional components of Laravel, such as: Cache, Session, etc.

# Run The Installer

Lastly, we can install apex by running the below.

php artisan apex:install

The above comand will also run php artisan key:generate --force and php artisan migrate --force

By default you should be able to login with the below email and password

Email: admin@apex.dev
Password: password

# Pretty URLs

# Apache

Apex includes a public/.htaccess file that is used to provide URLs without the index.php front controller in the path. Before serving Apex with Apache, be sure to enable the mod_rewrite module so the .htaccess file will be honored by the server.

If the .htaccess file that ships with Apex does not work with your Apache installation, try this alternative:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

# Nginx

If you are using Nginx, the following directive in your site configuration will direct all requests to the index.php front controller:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

# Configuration

# For developers
