- **C Compiler** — Recommended for building native components and optimizing extensions

---

💡 Key Notes
-----------

[](#-key-notes)

- Required extensions provide core features (DB, encryption, image/text processing).
- Optional ones depend on your tech stack.
- System dependencies are critical for compilation (`phpize`) and C/Python interoperability.

---

🚀 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

```
composer create-project epaphrodites/epaphrodites your-project-name
```

- If the installation requires certain extensions, execute the following command to install them:

```
php epaphrodites -i
```

---

⚠️ Recommendation : If you have already installed `MongoDB` on your machine and wish to incorporate its usage into your project, please execute the following command:

```
composer require mongodb/mongodb
```

### Continue the installation :

[](#continue-the-installation-)

Execute the following command to update all dependencies :

```
composer update
```

To execute "dump-autoload," run the command :

```
composer dump-autoload
```

---

⚙️ First configuration
----------------------

[](#️-first-configuration)

1. Open this file (SetDirectory.php)

```
    bin\config\SetDirectory.php
```

2. Set database accpeted : ('mysql/oracle/pgsql/sqlserver/sqlite/mongodb/redis')

```
    define('_FIRST_DRIVER_', 'sqlite');
```

3. Open this file (Config.ini)

```
    bin\config\config.ini
```

4. Choose your first configuration

```
[1_CONFIGURATION]
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#                      SQLITE CONFIGURATION
#  Lightweight file-based database perfect for:
#  . Small to medium applications
#  . Development and testing environments
#  . Embedded systems with minimal configuration
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
DRIVER = sqlite
DATABASE = epaphroditesdb.sqlite
HOST = 127.0.0.1
PORT =
USER =
PASSWORD =
SOCKET = false
SOCKET_PATH =
```

### 💾 Create database

[](#-create-database)

> Run this command to create your database

```
php heredia create:db epaphroditesdb
```

---

#### 🐍 Install python component

[](#-install-python-component)

- Note: This command is intended for users who have previously installed Python on their machine. It simplifies the installation of specific Python libraries essential for the optimal functioning of the Epaphrodites framework. Furthermore, you have the freedom, at your level, to integrate other libraries according to the requirements of your projects :

```
php heredia pip:component
```

#### 🔧 Compile C components

[](#-compile-c-components)

- Note: This command is for users who have C development tools installed on their machine. It compiles the C components essential for performance-critical operations in the Epaphrodites framework:

```
sudo ./kouadio - g
```

- Option `-i`: Directly inserts the extension
- Option `-g`: Generates and inserts C components
- Ensure you've set the proper executable permissions before running: :

```
chmod +x kouadio
```

---

### 🔥 Run your App

[](#-run-your-app)

- Note: For SQL databases, you must create your database before running your application. In the case of MongoDB, the system will generate your database based on your configuration.

> Run server

```
cd your_project
php heredia run:server --port=8000
```

> Authentification access

```
Login : admin
Password : admin
```

😎 Enjoy yourself
