Download here.

Download the latest version. Once downloaded unzip it to a temporary folder on your computer. Next open the .env.example file located in the root folder in your favorite text editor. Scroll down to the database settings section and fill in your database connection information.

Next we need to create a encryption key. This is IMPORTANT! The default key provided is just a placeholder string and is insecure. I have provided a page where you can get a random 32 character string. I do NOT save these, and they are random on each refresh. You can access this page here. Now go back to the .env.example file and replace the SomeRandomString with the key that was generated. By default it will look like this.

Pusher Configuration (Optional)

If you would like to have real-time online users & site chat, you will to create an account over at Pusher. Once you have your account and are logged in click on the "Your apps" tab on the left and click the button that says "Create new app". Now for the app name you can name it whatever you want, I just used my communities name. For the cluster selection choose the one that's the closest to your web server, if you know it, otherwise the default they provide is fine. After that click "Create my app" button.

You should now see your newly created app. Now click on the "App keys" tab. Copy the credentials to the appropriate field in the .env.example file.

Once completed, save the file in the same location as .env.example and name it .env, then upload the entire application to your webserver. Once uploaded you will need to modify some file and folder permissions. Change the files and folders permissions under storage recursively to 0777. This includes the storage folder itself. Also do this for the builds folder located at public/js/builds

Note

This application was designed to run on a subdomain and not from a folder from the TLD. Make sure to create a subdomain and if possible have domain point to the public folder that's located under the root folder. Not a redirect.

Now load up application in your web browser and it will begin the process of creating the tables. This process will take a few seconds to run on first load. When it completed you should see the dashboard.

Default login

Username: admin

Password: password

You can change the default username and password by clicking on Site Management > Users > Admin

Installing from the command line

This method is only for those who have shell access to their web server or VPS. This will download and extract the files to your current directory. Make sure it's an empty directory.

If you have git installed you can just run the following command to install it. You must have composer and php command line installed.

Git Method

This will clone and install the dependency's need for the BFACP to work. This will checkout the master branch which is the stable version. If you would like to run the develop version you will need to run git checkout develop before you issue the composer command.

To update it all you will need to do is run git pull and it will pull the latest version on the current branch (master or develop).

To make this an automated process you can create a cron job for it.

This product includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind, available from http://www.maxmind.com.

Installing Dev Version

I will assume you already have a webspace setup for this. If not just follow directions above to get the basics setup then come back here. All you should need to do is follow the commands and you should be up and running.

Make sure the directory is empty.

After you ran those command edit the file .env with the necessary information then save the file. Next enter these commands.

If you were running a previous version then you will need to run this command as well.

You should be good to go now. Make sure that you update the subdomain to point to the public folder for its directory (not a redirect). If you wish to update to the latest version of this branch just do a git pull.
