Installation

Prerequisites

• PHP 8.5+
• Composer 2
• MySQL 8 / PostgreSQL 15 / SQLite 3
• Node.js 20+ & npm (for front-end assets)

Option 1 — Command-line installer (setup.sh)

The quickest way to get started on Linux/macOS:

git clone https://github.com/liberu-real-estate/real-estate-laravel.git
cd real-estate-laravel
chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

setup.sh copies .env.example → .env, generates the application key, installs Composer and npm dependencies, runs database migrations and seeds demo data automatically.

Option 2 — Graphical installer (install.php)

A browser-based graphical installer is included for shared-hosting and non-technical deployments:

1. Upload the project files to your web server.
2. Open https://your-domain.com/install.php in a browser.
3. Follow the step-by-step wizard to configure your database, environment and admin account.

Option 3 — Manual step-by-step

git clone https://github.com/liberu-real-estate/real-estate-laravel.git
cd real-estate-laravel
composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
# Edit .env with your database credentials, then:
php artisan migrate --seed
npm install && npm run build
php artisan serve

Option 4 — Docker

docker build -t real-estate-laravel .
docker run -p 8000:8000 real-estate-laravel
# Or with Docker Compose:

Contributing

Contributions are warmly welcomed! Here's how to get involved:

1. Fork the repository and create a new branch from main (e.g. feature/my-new-feature).
2. Write tests for any new functionality or bug fix — we follow PHPUnit with the existing test suite.
3. Follow PSR-12 coding standards. Run ./vendor/bin/pint before committing to auto-fix style issues.
4. Open a Pull Request against main with a clear description of the change and why it's needed.
5. A maintainer will review your PR, leave feedback if necessary, and merge once approved.

For larger changes or new features, please open an issue first to discuss the approach before investing significant time. Bug reports, documentation improvements and translations are all equally valuable.
