-* Tokenizer PHP Extension

-* MySQL >= 5.6

-* [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)

+BookStack is an opinionated wiki system that provides a pleasant and simple out of the box experience. New users to an instance should find the experience intuitive and only basic word-processing skills should be required to get involved in creating content on BookStack. The platform should provide advanced power features to those that desire it but they should not interfere with the core simple user experience.

+BookStack is not designed as an extensible platform to be used for purposes that differ to the statement above.

-## Installation

+## Development & Testing

-Ensure the requirements are met before installing.

+All development on BookStack is currently done on the master branch. When it's time for a release the master branch is merged into release with built & minified CSS & JS then tagged at it's version. Here are the current development requirements:

-The installation is currently somewhat complicated. Some PHP/Laravel experience will benefit. This will be streamlined in the future.

+* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) v6.9+

-1. Clone the repository into a folder.

-2. `cd` into folder and run `composer install` followed by `npm install` and `bower install`.

-3. Run `gulp --production` to compile the JavaScript and css files.

-4. Copy the `.env.example` file to `.env` and fill with your own database and mail details.

-5. Ensure the `storage` & `bootstrap/cache` folders are writable by the web server.

-5. In the application root, Run `php artisan key:generate` to generate a unique application key.

-6. If not using apache or `.htaccess` files are disable you will have to create some URL rewrite rules as shown below.

-7. Run `php migrate` to update the database.

-8. Done! You can now login using the default admin details `[email protected]` with a password of `password`. It is recommended to change these details directly after first logging in.

+SASS is used to help the CSS development and the JavaScript is run through browserify/babel to allow for writing ES6 code. Both of these are done using gulp. To run the build task you can use the following commands:

-#### URL Rewrite rules

+``` bash

+# Build assets for development

+npm run-script build

-**Apache**

-```

-Options +FollowSymLinks

-RewriteEngine On

-

-RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

-RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

-RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

-```

+# Build and minify assets for production

+npm run-script production

-**Nginx**

-```

-location / {

- try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;

-}

+# Build for dev (With sourcemaps) and watch for changes

+npm run-script dev

```

-## Testing

-

BookStack has many integration tests that use Laravel's built-in testing capabilities which makes use of PHPUnit. To use you will need PHPUnit installed and accessible via command line. There is a `mysql_testing` database defined within the app config which is what is used by PHPUnit. This database is set with the following database name, user name and password defined as `bookstack-test`. You will have to create that database and credentials before testing.

The testing database will also need migrating and seeding beforehand. This can be done with the following commands:

-```

+``` bash

php artisan migrate --database=mysql_testing

php artisan db:seed --class=DummyContentSeeder --database=mysql_testing

```

Once done you can run `phpunit` in the application root directory to run all tests.

php artisan migrate --database=mysql_testing

php artisan db:seed --class=DummyContentSeeder --database=mysql_testing

```

Once done you can run `phpunit` in the application root directory to run all tests.

+## Translations

+

+As part of BookStack v0.14 support for translations has been built in. All text strings can be found in the `resources/lang` folder where each language option has its own folder. To add a new language you should copy the `en` folder to an new folder (eg. `fr` for french) then go through and translate all text strings in those files, leaving the keys and file-names intact. If a language string is missing then the `en` translation will be used. To show the language option in the user preferences language drop-down you will need to add your language to the options found at the bottom of the `resources/lang/en/settings.php` file. A system-wide language can also be set in the `.env` file like so: `APP_LANG=en`.

+

+You will also need to add the language to the `locales` array in the `config/app.php` file.

+

+ Some strings have colon-prefixed variables in such as `:userName`. Leave these values as they are as they will be replaced at run-time.
