Deployment is basically the same as development.

Pull the repository via git. Run npm i and php composer.phar i to ensure all dependencies are downloaded. Run npm run build to create a production build of the client. This command will generate the dist folder, which holds everything important. The server must have the following folders to function properly:

• dist (*)
• src (*)
• templates (*)
• logs
• vendor

(*) If it's not a fresh install, just copy these folders over

Be sure that config.json has "isProduction": true

Also make sure that the "api" key and the "template" key are accurately set.

Examples: Assuming the Domain Name is "boc22finaid.fau.edu"

If the scholarship application will be served from the root directory:

"api": "https://boc22finaid.fau.edu/api/",
"baseUrl": "/"

If the scholarship application will be served from a subfolder named 'scholarship':

"api": "https://boc22finaid.fau.edu/scholarship/api/",
"baseUrl": "scholarship"

Make sure you have at least

• PHP 7.1
• Node.js 8.11+

Install @vue/cli if you don't already have it

npm i -g @vue/cli

In the project root, install remaining dependencies with

npm i
php composer.phar

The best way to set things up locally is by running

npm run watch

and

php composer.phar start

In two different CLI windows.

You will still need to set up or configure a database in config.json
