Install Ticaga

Let's log into the new user we created earlier:

su demo

Let's give our www folder the correct permissions, this allows you to create the ticaga folder:

sudo chown -R $USER /var/www/

Before we continue let's disable SELinux:

sudo sed -c -i "s/\SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=disabled/" /etc/selinux/config

And SELinux rules incase it's playing up (If this fails don't worry, you don't need these rules):

semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/var/www/ticaga/storage(/.*)?"
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/var/www/ticaga/bootstrap/cache(/.*)?"
restorecon -Rv /var/www/ticaga
sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1

---

Let's go to the www folder:

cd /var/www/

Let's create the Laravel project which we will use for Ticaga:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel ticaga

Now let's go into the ticaga folder:

cd ticaga

Let's remove all the default files from Laravel:

sudo rm -rf ./* ./.env ./.env.example ./composer.lock

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP AND DANGEROUS, ENSURE THE ./ IS BEFORE THE *, ELSE YOU WILL DELETE THE WHOLE SERVER!

If you are worried about breaking your server, please contact our support team or open a sales ticket if you have a trial license.

Let's get the latest version of Ticaga:

wget -N https://ticaga.com/latest.zip

Unzip the files:

unzip latest.zip

Now let's install Vite, this provides the "node_modules" for Laravel and Ticaga to use:

sudo dnf module install nodejs:22 -y
sudo npm install -g npm@11.2.0
sudo npm install
sudo npm install -g vite

Let's create the Ticaga .env:

sudo nano .env

or you can use vi:

sudo vi .env

Paste in the following:

APP_NAME="Laravel"
APP_ENV=production
APP_KEY=
APP_DEBUG=false

You can now edit the main settings:

APP_NAME="Ticaga Demo"

This is your company name.

APP_URL=https://demo.ticaga.com

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=ticaga
DB_USERNAME=ticaga_user
DB_PASSWORD=p@s3w0r$2024!

These are the database name, username and password you created when doing the Database.

Let's provide the permissions for the bootstrap and storage folders:

sudo chmod -R ugo+rw bootstrap storage

Now we need to run the composer command to create the vendor folder for Ticaga, without this Ticaga won't work. We don't ship the vendor folder as it is huge:

composer install

Now we need to generate a secure App Key: 

sudo php artisan key:generate

Let's create the database tables for Ticaga and seed the database with content pre-filled for Ticaga:

sudo php artisan migrate --seed

php artisan livewire:publish --assets

Need to replace the BladeCompiler for Laravel for Ioncube to work:

sudo mv ./hot_fix/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/View/Compilers/BladeCompiler.php ./vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/View/Compilers/BladeCompiler.php

Lets now build Ticaga:

sudo npm run build

Clear Ticaga's caches:

php artisan optimize:clear

---

Reboot the server to kick Ioncube into action:

sudo reboot

That's it now you have a fully working Ticaga.
