Laravel Installation

To set up the application locally, with our DEMO smart contract (please deploy your own, because now if you will make some tests, fees will be collected to our wallet).

1. Copy the files from the "Laravel" directory and paste them for example on:

/Applications/codebase/bitcord-dex folder

2. Create an .env file and copy the file content from .env.example

It should look the same as in the screenshot.

3. Now you will need to create a database, if you DO NOT have MySQL locally, you can run the command on the Terminal to set up a Docker Container.

cd /Applications/codebase/bitcord-dex && sh start.sh

This command will run the following scripts:

But for this to be successful you will need to download & install Docker from here:

After the command "sh start.sh" was ran on the Terminal. This is how the output should look like:

Now, if you run the command:

"docker ps" you will see also:

3 Containers:

1. Nginx - WebServer on port 8080

2. PHP 8.0+

3. MySQL 8.

To update the ports and user, pw, database information, please edit the file under:

Files/docker/.env

4. You can now visit: http://localhost:8080

IF You don't want to use DOCKER.

1. Create a database

2. Edit .env file with your database credentials

3. Run commands on the Terminal:

php artisan key:generate

php artisan migrate

php artisan db:seed

php artisan storage:link

php artisan serve

Now you can open the website on http://localhost:8000

Keep in mind that images may be broken, that is because you need to set the right domain on the .env file.

APP_URL=http://localhost:8080

Where localhost:8080 is your domain.

After this, please delete the folder under "public/storage" and run the command:

php artisan storage:link
