Hauk requires some dependencies to work properly. To install them, open your terminal and type the following command:
sudo apt-get install git php-mbstring php-zip php-curl php-gd
Now, you'll need to clone the Hauk repository from Github. To do that, type the following command in your terminal:
git clone git://github.com/bilde2910/Hauk.git
Once the cloning process is complete, enter the directory you just cloned by typing:
cd Hauk
Composer is a package manager for PHP that enables easy installation of libraries and tools. To install Composer, type the following command in your terminal:
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '669656bab3166a7aff8a7506b8cb2d1c292f042046c5a994c43155c0be6190fa0355160742ab2e1c88d40d5be660b410') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Now, you'll need to run Composer to install Hauk's dependencies. Type the following command in your terminal:
composer install
Before running Hauk, you need to configure some settings. First, copy the config.example.php
file to config.php
by typing:
cp config.example.php config.php
Next, open the config.php
file in your favorite text editor by typing:
nano config.php
Then, you need to modify the configuration settings to match your server's specifications. You'll need to change the MODE
setting to prod
, and then modify the following settings:
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name');
define('DB_USER', 'database_user');
define('DB_PASS', 'database_password');
define('DB_HOST', 'database_host');
define('URL', 'https://yourdomain.com');
Finally, you can start Hauk by typing the following command in your terminal:
php bin/console server:run
You should now be able to access Hauk in your browser at the following URL:
https://yourdomain.com/app
That's it! You now have Hauk up and running on your Elementary OS system.
