Usage

Before using this package you need to run :

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="NoviCMS\LaravelInstaller\Providers\LaravelInstallerServiceProvider"

You will notice additional files and folders appear in your project :

• config/installer.php : In here you can set the requirements along with the folders permissions for your application to run, by default the array cotaines the default requirements for a basic Laravel app.
• public/installer/assets : This folder contains a css folder and inside of it you will find a main.css file, this file is responsible for the styling of your installer, you can overide the default styling and add your own.
• resources/views/vendor/installer : This folder contains the HTML code for your installer, it is 100% customizable, give it a look and see how nice/clean it is.
• resources/lang/en/messages.php : This file holds all the messages/text, currently only English is available, if your application is in another language, you can copy/past it in your language folder and modify it the way you want. If you wanna help us provide more languages for this awesome package please send a pull request https://github.com/NoviCMS/LaravelInstaller/pulls.

To use the install middleware you need to add this line of code: -'installation' => \App\Http\Middleware\Installation::class, to app\Http\kernel.php. Place this in - protected $routeMiddleware = [ and not in your -protected $middleware = [.

To redirect all routes to your install page when your application is not installed yet, you need to add the following code to your routes.php. -Route::group(array('middleware' => [installation']), function(){- : in this function you need to place all other routes to redirect to install.
