Downloading files
Composer, a dependency manager for PHP packages, is playing a crucial role in Satellite 5. It is strongly suggested you download into your server which would help you through the use of the site. Install it using these instructions. For the next steps, the composer executable command will be “composer”. If you can run the composer executable with “php composer.phar” or similar, please replace this to the commands.
Recommended steps
In order to get the Satellite files, you need to have terminal/SSH access and run the following command, without quotes
-
“composer create-project esn/satellite-project:5.0.0 [path] --repository-url=https://packages.esn.org”
And you replace [path] with the folder you want Satellite to be.
For example,
-
“composer create-project esn/satellite-project:5.0.0 public_html --repository-url=https://packages.esn.org”
Note: the folder is relative to your current path.
After Composer has downloaded the required files, you have to change the document root (webroot) of your server(eg. Apache) to a subfolder inside the Satellite project. For example, if on the above command, as [path] you put public_html (and the path is /var/www/html), the document root must be “/var/www/html/public_html/web”
Example on how to change the document root on this tutorial - Step 2
After you do that, the steps are like Satellite 4. You access the new domain, you follow the steps, language, add DB credentials and then it is installed!
After the installation, make sure you add your country/section (you will see a red message)
