- [License](#License)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

You need:

- PHP 7.2 or later
- `composer`
- `git`

You might want to have:

- A webserver with PHP enabled.
- `make`
- `node` and `npm` to work with the `theme/`.
- Docker and `docker-compose` to run in containers.

Install
-------

[](#install)

There are different ways on how to get going and install a fresh installation of the framework. They all include the following tasks:

1. Get a copy of this repo.
2. Do `composer install` to get all dependencies.
3. Execute all|some scaffolding scripts `.anax/*.d/*.bash`.

### Composer

[](#composer)

This is the prefered way since it only requires the use of composer.

Composer automatically installs in the directory `site/` with the dependencies and processes all the scaffolding scripts.

```
composer create-project anax/anax site --stability beta

```

You might want to use the switch `--ignore-platform-reqs` if your cli environment is different from your apache environment.

### Git clone

[](#git-clone)

This might be useful during development.

Clone this repo into a folder `site/` and perform composer install and finish up by executing all of the scaffolding scripts.

```
git clone https://github.com/canax/anax.git site
cd site
composer install
composer run-script post-create-project-cmd

```

### Scaffolding from Anax components

[](#scaffolding-from-anax-components)

If you want a more customized installation you could decide on what postprocessing scripts you want to execute post the installation.

First, install the source and install the components using `composer install`.

```
composer create-project anax/anax site --stability beta --no-scripts
# or
git clone https://github.com/canax/anax.git site
cd site
composer install

```

Then you can manually execute the scaffold script.

```
bash .anax/anax.bash version
bash .anax/anax.bash help
ls -d .anax/*.d
# See the available commands
bash .anax/anax.bash scaffold theme cimage

```

These are the basic parts of scaffolding.

PartPathDetails`scaffold``.anax/scaffold.d`Copy essentials from modules in `vendor/anax/` to setup a complete installation of Anax.`theme``.anax/theme.d`Install a basic theme in `theme/` and build it.`cimage``.anax/cimage.d`Install and setup to use `mosbth/cimage` as part of the website.You should remove the `.anax` directory once you have scaffolded your site. Executing scaffolding repeated times is not guaranteed to work and may corrupt your installation.

Verify installation
-------------------

[](#verify-installation)

These are steps you can carry out to verify your installation.

### Open your site in a web browser

[](#open-your-site-in-a-web-browser)

Point your web browser to the directory `site/htdocs`.

### Open your site, through docker, in a web browser

[](#open-your-site-through-docker-in-a-web-browser)

Start the docker container.

```
docker-compose up website

```

Point your web browser to `http://localhost:8088/`.

### Install development environment and run tests

[](#install-development-environment-and-run-tests)

The repo comes with a development environment which can be installed and the tests can be executed.

```
make install test

```

Run `make` to see what more can be done.

Post installation
-----------------

[](#post-installation)

Here are more tasks to carry out to enhance your installation.

### Suggested add-ons

[](#suggested-add-ons)

Check what other packages that might be suggested. These are not essential, just suggestions. You can leave them as is for now.

```
composer suggests --no-dev --by-package

```

CLI-utility anax
----------------

[](#cli-utility-anax)

When working with an anax installation you might want to opt to use the anax-cli ([anax/anax-cli](https://packagist.org/packages/anax/anax-cli)) to aid in scaffolding ordinary components.

You can install anax cli like this.

```
composer require anax/anax-cli

```

You can then execute it like this.

```
vendor/bin/anax.bash --help

```
