Like Yii2 Application Advanced, WritesDown CMS also use composer for installation, just type the following to the command line.
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.0"
composer create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev writesdown/app-cms writesdown
The first command installs the composer asset plugin which allows managing bower and npm package dependencies through Composer. You only need to run this command once for all. The second command installs the advanced application in a directory named writesdown. You can choose a different directory name if you want.
Once the application has been downloaded, navigate towards the application directory and perform initialization on the command line.
cd path\of\applicaton
php init
Create a new database for the application, then edit the configuration on "common\config\main-local.php".
'db' => [
'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=writesdown',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'tablePrefix' => 'wd_'
],The "writesdown" above is the database that has been built up, please edit it to your database. After that, write the following code to initialize the database.
yii migrate --migrationPath=@common/db/migrations
Go to the admin panel http://hostname/admin (without slash on the end) and change the username and password. The default username and password is superadmin/superadmin.
Done, Enjoy!
