[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. Connect to your webhosting with us via SSH, using a client such as Putty. Credentials for connecting can be found on the File Manager tab of the webhosting control panel.

2. Create a new folder within your public folder called "sourcebans" and then navigate to it, using the following commands:

Code: Select all

mkdir public/sourcebans
cd public/sourcebans

3, Download the Sourcebans web folder, using SVN:

Code: Select all

svn checkout https://github.com/sbpp/sourcebans-pp/trunk/web .

Note: The space and period at the end of the line is intentional and needs to be included.

4. Download the composer setup file:

Code: Select all

wget https://getcomposer.org/installer -O composer-setup.php

5. Create a "bin" directory for the setup file to install Composer into:

Code: Select all

mkdir bin

6. Run the composer-setup.php file, specifying an install directory and file name for Composer:

Code: Select all

php composer-setup.php --install-dir=bin --filename=composer

7. Run the following Composer command, which will download the required dependencies for Sourcebans++:

Code: Select all

bin/composer install

8. Open your browser and navigate to the installation folder for Sourcebans, such as:

http://<yourdomain.com>/sourcebans/install

Note: 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.

9. You should now be able to follow through the step-by-step installer included with Sourcebans to complete the installation.
