Installing Hauk on Elementary OS

Step 1: Install Dependencies

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

Step 2: Clone Hauk

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

Step 3: Enter the Hauk Directory

Once the cloning process is complete, enter the directory you just cloned by typing:

cd Hauk

Step 4: Install Composer

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

Step 5: Install Hauk Dependencies

Now, you'll need to run Composer to install Hauk's dependencies. Type the following command in your terminal:

composer install

Step 6: Configure Hauk

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');

Step 7: Run Hauk

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.
