Install
Git / Github
Development is hosted on Github, so you will need a free Github account to contribute code.
If you are new to Git, you may find the Github desktop application easier to use. Alternatives are SourceTree and GitKraken.
Environment
To develop ARK requires the following tools to be installed:
You will also require PHP, a web server (Apache/PHP), a database server (MySQL/PostreSQL/SQLite), a web browser (Chrome/Firefox), and a an API client (Postman).
The following tools are recommend to adhere to ARK code quality standards:
- php-cs-fixer
- PHP CodeSniffer
macOS
On macOS, while you can install the requirements via standalone packages such as MAMP, we recommend using HomeBrew as it makes installing and updating all the tools used easier.
- Install XCode from the App Store and run it to accept the license, or from the command line:
. sudo xcodebuild -license accept
- Check you have the Command Line Tools (including Git) installed and enabled:
. xcode-select --install
- Download and install HomeBrew:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
- Modify your .profile to add brew packages to your $PATH and to enable Git completion
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH source /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/share/git-core/git-completion.bash source /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/share/git-core/git-prompt.sh GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=true PS1='\u@\h \W$(__git_ps1 " (%s)") \$ '
- Source your modified .profile to start using it:
. source ~/.profile
- Install the required packages from Brew:
brew install httpd brew install mariadb brew tap homebrew/php brew install php71 php71-imagick php71-intl php71-opcache php71-xdebug brew install composer php-code-sniffer php-cs-fixer phpdocumentor phplint phplint phpmyadmin brew install nodejs
Debian Stable (Stretch)
Debian Stretch ships with PHP 7.0 by default, but also enables the parallel install of other PHP versions using PHP-FM. PHP 5.6 and 7.1 are not in the official repositories, but the Debian maintainer has made them available in his repo pending their being pushed to Debian Backports. LP Archaeology use this combination for our servers and we strongly recommend you use this method for both simplicity and reliability.
Instructions for NodeJS: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions
Instructions for PHP 7.1: https://packages.sury.org/php/README.txt. See also https://github.com/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/wiki/Managing-Multiple-Versions

Once ARK is installed (see below), configure Apache to serve the site, using either alias or symlink.
sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/dime.conf
Using a simple alias on a subdirectory:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAdmin sysadmin@localhost
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
LogLevel debug
Alias "/dime"
<Directory "/srv/www/lib/ark2/sites/dime/web">
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
AllowOverride None
AcceptPathInfo On
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php [QSA,L]
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Using a vhost on a subdomain
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName dime2.lparchaeology.com
ServerAdmin sysadmin@lparchaeology.com
DocumentRoot /srv/www/lib/ark2/sites/dime/web
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /path/to/logs/<site>/error.log
CustomLog /path/to/logs/<site>/access.log combined
<Directory "/srv/www/lib/ark2/sites/dime/web">
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
AllowOverride None
AcceptPathInfo On
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php [QSA,L]
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
sudo a2ensite dime
sudo apache2ctl -t
sudo systemctl reload apache2
sudo apache2ctl -S
Install
To install using git:
mkdir /srv/www/lib cd /srv/www/lib git clone https://github.com/lparchaeology/ark2.git
Alternatively download and unzip the file from https://github.com/lparchaeology/ark2
Then run composer to install the required PHP libraries:
cd ark2/ composer install <may need github token...>
Run the Sysadmin console to check your install:
./bin/sysadmin ./bin/sysadmin system:about
Check the database server config file is correct for your install:
less sites/servers.json
If you need to add different server details:
./bin/sysadmin database:server:add
To create a new site:
./bin/sysadmin site:create <site> ./sites/<site>/bin/console
Now edit the site config files to reflect your site settings. Most settings will have the correct default, but some may need tweaking:
vim sites/<site>/config/site.json
If using vhosts or aliases to serve the site, see above for instructions.
If not using vhosts, for local development you can symlink the site
cd .. ln -s sites/<site>/web /<path>/<to>/htdocs/<site> http://localhost/<site>
To rebuild the frontend
cd build ./build env:install ./build frontend:all <frontend>
