[](#getting-started)

There's 2 .htaccess file the first one located within the main root directory. Which takes the incoming request which routes this to the \*\*public/index.php file. This index.php file handles the initialization of the application. This file is also used to load all the main component within the framework i.e session, cache, routing, error-handling etc...

Your basic index file should look like below.

```
require_once 'include.php';

use MagmaCore\Utility\Yaml;
use MagmaCore\Logger\LogLevel;
use MagmaCore\Base\BaseApplication;

try {
    BaseApplication::getInstance()
        ->setPath(ROOT_PATH)
        ->setConfig(Yaml::file('app'))
        ->setErrorHandler(Yaml::file('app')['error_handler'], E_ALL)
        ->setSession(Yaml::file('app')['session'], null, true)
        ->setCookie([])
        ->setCache(Yaml::file('app')['cache'], null, true)
        ->setRoutes(Yaml::file('routes'))
        ->setLogger(LOG_PATH, Yaml::file('app')['logger_handler']['file'], LogLevel::DEBUG, [])
        ->setContainerProviders(Yaml::file('providers'))
        ->run();
} catch (Exception $e) {
