Okle is an e-commerce web app. This web app mainly implements e-commerce affiliation marketing concepts side of things. This is a personal project that i work on in my free time so don't expect stable commits if you want to watch the repo.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development.

Prerequisites

To run this app you need to have below technologies:

Set up the environment

Visit https://laravel.com/docs/5.2 for a detailed documentation on how to install it. It is recommended to install the vagrant box Homestead optimized to run laravel apps. The below gives you the basic instructions on how to install Homestead. visit https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/homestead for a detailed documentation.

Make Sure You Have:

• VirtualBox
• or VMWare
• or Parallels
• Vagrant

You only to have one of these VirtualBox, or VWware or Parallels and then have Vagrant as well. If you have those installed move to the below instructions.

Installing The Homestead Vagrant Box

vagrant box add laravel/homestead

Create The Homestead.yaml configuration file

// Mac or Linux
bash init.sh

// windows
init.bat

Configuring Homestead

Locate the Homestead.yaml file we just created. It should be in ~/.homestead/Homestead.yaml for mac and linux users,for window users check in /users or /Documents,it really depends on where you downloaded everything from.

Setting Your Provider

The provider key in your ~/.homestead/Homestead.yaml file indicates which Vagrant provider should be used: virtualbox, vmware_fusion, vmware_workstation, or parallels. You may set this to the provider you prefer:

provider: virtualbox

Configuring Shared Folders

Create a folder which files will be synced between your local machine and the Homestead environment. Mine is assumed to be named "Code"

folders:
	- map: ~/Code
	  to : /home/vagrant/Code

Configuring Nginx Sites

If you change the sites property after provisioning the Homestead box, you should re-run vagrant reload --provision to update the Nginx configuration on the virtual machine

sites:
   - map: okle.app
     to: /home/vagrant/Code/okle/public

Edit The Hosts File

For Mac or linux users, this file is located at /etc/hosts. on Windows, it is located atC:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.
