Installation

System requirements

• PHP 7
• PHP zip extension for auto backup functionality
• PHP mbstring for encryption
• A webserver with rewriting support to run xTend

First off

You can either clone or download the GitHub repo. Next you need to set it up using the install.sh script or you can do it manually.

How to install xTend (install script)

Using the install.sh script is pretty easy, just run the script in your terminal or command line and pass the relative location where you want to install it to. The script will ask for confirmation and further you into installing xTend with some configuration steps. All this can also be done manually.

How to install xTend (manually)

If you want to install manually you can move all files in dist/ to wherever you want xTend to reside. The www folder is the public one whereas Application and CLI are the system folders which should reside in the parent of the public directory. Don't forget to move the workbench file as well. Lastly, it is important to note that you shouldn't rename the public directory manually if you intend on using the workbench (command line tool). You can change the public directory using the workbench which is explained in the section about configuration.

Example folder structure

/var/www
    Application/
        Blueprints/
        Config/
        Core/
        Libs/
        Objects/
        packagist.json
    CLI/
        Commands/
        Config/
        Core/
    www/
    workbench

Notice This setup will work but it is advised to follow the configuration steps as well
