README

Lavender is an Open Source E-Commerce Framework built on top of Laravel 5.

Note: Lavender is in active development and NOT ready for production.

Step 1: Install Lavender with Composer.

Avoid installing lavender in your web server's public directory. Instead create a symlink on lavender/public as your public root.

Run composer to create the lavender application:

composer create-project lavender-commerce/lavender

Set up your environment config file:

lavender/.env    

Step 2: Set up Lavender with Artisan.

Create the first round of migrations. This command reads the definitions in config/entity.php and compares it to your database.

php artisan migrate:entity

Run your newly created migration file:

php artisan migrate

Install lavender's dependencies (default store and theme):

php artisan db:seed --class=InstallLavender

Create an admin account:

php artisan make:admin

Step 3: (Optional) Seed catalog sample data!

php artisan db:seed --class=SampleData

That's it!

Troubleshooting

Permission denied on lavender/storage directory?

chmod -R 775 storage

Login not working? Try modifying your sessions config:

config/session.php

Emails not working? Try modifying your email config:

config/mail.php

Something else? Follow the install instructions carefully or submit an new issue!
