GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES

1: Download and install Composer

The Bug Genie uses a dependency resolution tool called Composer, which must be downloaded and run before The Bug Genie can be installed or used.

Download and install Composer from http://getcomposer.org

2: Install The Bug Genie dependencies

After you have followed the instructions in step 1, run php composer.phar install from the main directory of The Bug Genie. Composer will download and install all necessary components for The Bug Genie, and you can continue to the actual installation as soon as it is completed.

3: (recommended) Set up a web server virtual host

If you have access to a web server setup, configure a separate virtual host for The Bug Genie, with the document root pointing to the public/ subfolder of the main thebuggenie/ directory.

If you are using Apache, enable url rewriting (the installation routine will help you complete the url rewriting setup), and if you're using IIS, Nginx or others, look at the examples included in the online documentation at http://issues.thebuggenie.com/wiki/TheBugGenie:FAQ

4: Install via web

Visit the subfolder /public/index.php in your web-browser, or point your web browser to the virtual host domain you set up in step 3.

The installation script will start automatically and guide you through the installation process.

4: Install via command-line (unix/linux only)

You can use the included command-line client to install, if you prefer that. Run ./tbg_cli from this folder.

To install: ./tbg_cli install
