GoDesk supports reasonably recent versions of the following browsers:
- Google Chrome
- Apple Safari
- Microsoft Edge
- Mozilla Firefox
CMS GoDesk has a few requirements you should be aware of before installing:
GoDesk supports reasonably recent versions of the following browsers:
CMS GoDesk depends on Laravel and utilizes Composer to manage its dependencies. So, before using GoDesk, make sure you have Composer installed on your machine.
You can visit the official Laravel website or follow our instructions.
First, download Laravel installer using Composer:
composer global require laravel/installer
Install Laravel by issuing the Composer create-project
command in your terminal:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel:^7.0 blog
You can specify any path instead of a blog
, and then move your application to the root folder.
After installing Laravel, you should configure your web server's document / web root to be the public
directory. The index.php
in this directory serves as the front controller for all HTTP requests entering your application.
All of the configuration files for the Laravel framework are stored in the config
directory. Each option is documented, so feel free to look through the
files and get familiar with the options available to you.
If you use MySQL in any version (MySQL, MariaDB, etc.), make sure you know your encodings. Change your charset
and collation
in config/database.php
to correct.
After installing Laravel, you may need to configure some permissions. Directories within the storage
and the bootstrap/cache
directories should be writable by your web server or Laravel will not run. If you are using the Homestead virtual machine, these
permissions should already be set.
The next thing you should do after installing Laravel is set your application key to a random string. If you installed Laravel via Composer or the Laravel installer, this key has already
been set for you by the php artisan key:generate
command.
Typically, this string should be 32 characters long. The key can be set in the .env
environment file. If you have not renamed the .env.example
file to .env
, you should do that now. If the application key is not set, your user sessions and
other encrypted data will not be secure!
Laravel needs almost no other configuration out of the box. You are free to get started developing! However, you may wish to review the config/app.php
file
and its documentation. It
contains several options such as timezone
and locale
that you may wish to change according to your application.
You may also want to configure a few additional components of Laravel, such as:
Laravel should always be served out of the root of the "web directory" configured for your web server. You should not attempt to serve a Laravel application out of a subdirectory of the "web directory". Attempting to do so could expose sensitive files present within your application.
Laravel includes a public/.htaccess
file that is used to provide URLs without the index.php
front controller in the path.
Before serving Laravel with Apache, be sure to enable the mod_rewrite
module so the .htaccess
file will be honored by
the server.
If the .htaccess
file that ships with Laravel does not work with your Apache installation, try this alternative:
Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
If you are using Nginx, the following directive in your site configuration will direct all requests to the index.php
front controller:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
It’s not necessary to change anything other than the specified one, this may affect the system.
Initially, you need to be registered on spacecode.dev and need to had the License to download files with CMS GoDesk.
Verify that your database configurations in config/database.php
are correct.
Check your database environments in .env
: DB_CONNECTION
DB_HOST
DB_PORT
DB_DATABASE
DB_USERNAME
DB_PASSWORD
Check your environments in .env
: CACHE_DRIVER
QUEUE_CONNECTION
SESSION_DRIVER
. They need to be redis
Download one of the GoDesk Release
and unpack it to the root path in godesk
folder.
Add laravel/nova
and spacecode/godesk
to the require section of your composer.json
file:
"require": {
...
"laravel/nova": "*",
"spacecode/godesk": "*"
},
Add repositories
as a separate section of your composer.json
file:
"repositories": [
{
"type": "artifact",
"url": "./godesk/resources/dependencies/"
},
{
"type": "path",
"url": "./godesk"
}
]
After your composer.json
file has been updated, run the composer update
command in your console terminal:
Finally, run the godesk:install
Artisan commands. The godesk:install
command will install GoDesk's service provider and
public assets within your application:
php artisan godesk:install
To ensure GoDesk's assets are updated when a new version is downloaded, you may add a Composer hook inside your project's composer.json
file to
automatically publish GoDesk's latest assets:
"scripts": {
"post-update-cmd": [
"@php artisan godesk:publish"
]
}
