How to install Sourcebans++ 1.7.0 web panel (with Composer)

[Spray]

This guide will walk you through installation of the web panel portion of Sourcebans, which now requires Composer to be installed and run in order to download some needed dependencies.

1. In your control panel, navigate to your webhosting service, and select the "Autoinstallers" tab.
2. Select "Composer (lastest)" and submit the form with the "Auto-create Composer installation" button.
3. Connect to your webhosting service via SSH, using a client such as Putty.
   • Credentials for connecting can be found on the "File Manager" tab in the services control panel.
4. Once connected, create the necessary directories:
   

   Code: Select all

   mkdir -p ~/public/sourcebans-pp/{demos,cache,images/games,images/maps}

5. Download the required files for Sourcebans++:
   

   Code: Select all

   git clone https://github.com/sbpp/sourcebans-pp.git temp-sourcebans-pp && cp -r temp-sourcebans-pp/web/* ~/public/sourcebans-pp/ && rm -rf temp-sourcebans-pp

   • Copy, paste, and run this entire string as one command.
6. Navigate to the sourcebans directory and run composer install:
   

   Code: Select all

   cd ~/public/sourcebans-pp && composer install

7. Open your browser and navigate to the installation folder for Sourcebans, such as:
   
   http://<yourdomain.com>/sourcebans-pp/install
   
   • Replace <yourdomain.com> with the domain you're installing Sourcebans into, shown on the Domains page of the control panel. This might be something like myserver.site.nfoservers.com, or a custom domain you've added to your panel.
8. Follow the installer until completed (you will know its complete when you get to the "Finish Up" section on the "Initial steps" page).
   
   • Database information can be found on the Databases tab of your website control panel. Create a database on that page if you have not yet.
   • Your Steam API Key can be found or created here: https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey
   • You can quickly lookup your SteamID here: https://steamid.io/
9. Once you are done with the installer you can use the below command to clean up the "install" and "updater" directories to begin using Sourcebans++:
   

   Code: Select all

   rm -rf ~/public/sourcebans-pp/install ~/public/sourcebans-pp/updater

   • Only run this when you are 100% sure you are done with the installer. Otherwise you will need to delete the sourcebans-pp folder and start again.
