Fetch git repository

git clone https://github.com/silkc/silkc-platform.git silkc

Move into Silk installation folder

cd silkc

Create and edit file .env.local

APP_ENV=production
DATABASE_URL=mysql://[USER_NAME]:[PASSWORD]@[MYSQL_SERVER_IP]:3306/[DATABASE_NAME]?serverVersion=5.7

Run composer

composer install

Set folder permissions

chmod -R 777 var/log
chmod -R 777 var/cache

Create and migrate database

php bin/console doctrine:database:create
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force
mysql -u [USER_NAME] -p[PASSWORD] [DATABASE_NAME] < data.sql

Install packages and generate assets

yarn install
yarn encore production

Load fixtures data

Loading fixtures will create 4 user accounts:

• Admin role: admin/admin
• Final user role: user/user
• Institution role: institution/institution
• Recruiter role: recruiter/recruiter

These accounts must be secured later on by changing their password or removing them. The admin account must not be removed.

php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load --group=AppFixtures --append --env dev

Import institution profiles from src/DataFixtures/JSON/xxx.json file

php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load --group=InstitutionImportFixtures --append --env dev

Import training from src/DataFixtures/JSON/xxx.json file. Training data like startAt and endAt is date-checked in src/Entity/Training.php through @Assert clauses. To avoid validation issues while importing, we recommend removing the following lines in Training.php and launching composer install to register those changes, before importing training and users (which can also contain training declarations).

# In $startAt declaration block (line ~255), remove
     * @Assert\GreaterThan("today")
# In $endAt declaration block (line ~263), remove
     * @Assert\Expression("value == null or value > this.startAt", message="training_create_ent_at_have_to_be_greather_than_start_at")

You can then issue the import command:

php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load --group=TrainingImportFixtures --append --env dev

To fetch or generate latitude and longitude for trainings with only location, run this url :

https://mydomain.ext/api/cron/fetch_lat_and_long

Import user profiles from src/DataFixtures/JSON/xxx.json file

php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load --group=UserImportFixtures --append --env dev

Development environment

For development environments, make sure the following is present in the .env.local file:

APP_ENV=dev
APP_DEBUG=true

Start using SILKC

Load the application URL and login as admin/admin. If any error appears, make sure you apply the right permissions for var/log and var/cache as described above.
