Fourum development uses Homestead for its development environment. Follow the link to setup Homestead, then come back and continue.

To install Fourum, SSH into Homestead and do the following:

git clone [email protected]:fourum/fourum.git
composer install

Now you need to configure the database connection in the .env file. Make sure you create an empty database on your MySQL instance first. Then:

php artisan install

That will setup the database tables and populate some basic data to get started with. You should now have a basic Fourum setup working! Congrats!

Start by creating a new package:

php artisan make:package fourum/mypackage packages/mypackage
composer dump-autoload

That will create a basic structure in packages/mypackage with a service provider. Simply add that service provider to config/app.php and it should appear in fourum.io/admin/packages. You can initialise a git repository inside packages/mypackage and develop it as you would any other library.
