-## Requirements
+* [Installation Instructions](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/installation)
+* [Documentation](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs)
+* [Demo Instance](https://demo.bookstackapp.com)
+ * *Password: `password`*
+* [BookStack Blog](https://www.bookstackapp.com/blog)
-BookStack has similar requirements to Laravel. On top of those are some front-end build tools which are only required when developing.
+## Development & Testing
-* PHP >= 5.5.9
-* OpenSSL PHP Extension
-* PDO PHP Extension
-* MBstring PHP Extension
-* Tokenizer PHP Extension
-* MySQL >= 5.6
-* Git (Not strictly required but helps manage updates)
-* [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)
-* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) **Development Only**
-* [Gulp](http://gulpjs.com/) **Development Only**
+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:
+* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) v6.9+
-## Installation
+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:
-Ensure the requirements are met before installing.
-
-This project currently uses the `release` branch of this repository as a stable channel for providing updates.
-
-The installation is currently somewhat complicated and will be made simpler in future releases. Some PHP/Laravel experience will currently benefit.
-
-1. Clone the release branch of this repository into a folder.
+``` bash
+# Build and minify for production
+npm run-script build
-```
-git clone https://github.com/ssddanbrown/BookStack.git --branch release --single-branch
+# Build for dev (With sourcemaps) and watch for changes
+npm run-script dev
```
-2. `cd` into the application folder and run `composer install`.
-3. Copy the `.env.example` file to `.env` and fill with your own database and mail details.
-4. 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 if `.htaccess` files are disabled you will have to create some URL rewrite rules as shown below.
-7. Run `php artisan 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.
+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.
-#### URL Rewrite rules
+The testing database will also need migrating and seeding beforehand. This can be done with the following commands:
-**Apache**
+``` bash
+php artisan migrate --database=mysql_testing
+php artisan db:seed --class=DummyContentSeeder --database=mysql_testing
```
-Options +FollowSymLinks
-RewriteEngine On
-RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
-RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
-RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
-```
+Once done you can run `phpunit` in the application root directory to run all tests.
-**Nginx**
-```
-location / {
- try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
-}
-```
+## Translations
-## Testing
+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.

+## Contributing
-The testing database will also need migrating and seeding beforehand. This can be done with the following commands:
+Feel free to create issues to request new features or to report bugs and problems. Just please follow the template given when creating the issue.
-```
-php artisan migrate --database=mysql_testing
-php artisan db:seed --class=DummyContentSeeder --database=mysql_testing
-```
+Pull requests are very welcome. If the scope of your pull request is very large it may be best to open the pull request early or create an issue for it to discuss how it will fit in to the project and plan out the merge.
-Once done you can run `phpunit` in the application root directory to run all tests.
