This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing PropertyWebBuilder on macOS. PropertyWebBuilder is a web-based platform for creating real estate websites.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to download PropertyWebBuilder from the official website at https://propertywebbuilder.com. Scroll down to the download section and click the "Download" button.
Next, you need to install Homebrew, which is a package manager for macOS. Open the terminal application and enter the following command:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Press Enter and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
Once Homebrew is installed, you can use it to install PHP and Composer, which are both required by PropertyWebBuilder. Enter the following command:
brew install php composer
Press Enter and wait for the installation to complete.
Now it's time to install PropertyWebBuilder. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the PropertyWebBuilder file and extract the archive using your preferred method.
Next, open the terminal application and navigate to the extracted PropertyWebBuilder directory using the cd
command. Once you're in the directory, enter the following command:
composer install
Press Enter and wait for the installation to complete.
Finally, you need to configure PropertyWebBuilder to work with your local environment. To do this, copy the .env.example
file to .env
using the following command:
cp .env.example .env
Then, open the .env
file in a text editor and update the APP_URL
variable to match the URL of your local development environment.
To start the server, enter the following command:
php artisan serve
Press Enter and wait for the server to start. Once it's running, open your web browser and navigate to the http://localhost:8000
URL to access PropertyWebBuilder.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PropertyWebBuilder on macOS.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
