Dedicated server on Dreamhost installing spark from scratch
I need help installing my first spark site. I need a step by step instruction.
composer is installed
laravel/installer package globally installed
Passenger (Ruby/NodeJS/Python apps only): NodeJS is set
Paid my $299 subcsription from Laravel website - I have my first unlimited license
repository laravel/spark-installer from git files are different from laravel/spark on github
This is where i am confused about the method to install. Background: I just started learning the laravel framework though laracast.com and want to build my own laravel website with laravel and spark. Moving from CMSs (joomla, wordpress, drupal) to Laravel Framework. Please help
I just use the composer method described in the spark docs (not the spark-installer, which I believe is deprecated).
When you log into your Spark website account (spark - not your app), you have to have a github token set up in your profile so that you can pull the private repo from github.
Edit: I'm pretty sure if you just try to install it using composer without the github token set up, composer will have an error, but it will also have a message with the github url that you need to access to create the token. So be sure to read the error message for the link to create the token. It's been awhile but that's my recollection.
I can access the private repository. But how do i install it once all of the files are in the directory? I also have my license setup and my number from the spark.laravel.com website. It is probably something simple, I am just missing it.
I don't know what you mean by how to install it once the files are in the directory. If you use composer to "install" it, it's installed. If you go to the homepage of your site, it should show some spark graphics along with the login/signup links.
