Installation of Aureus ERP

You can obtain the source code from the Aureus ERP GitHub repository in two ways.

1. Download the source code directly from our GitHub repository, click the green “Code” button on the repository page, and choose “Download ZIP”.
2. Clone the repository to your local development environment, Open VS Code, and press Ctrl + ~ to open the terminal, then run the command: git clone https://github.com/aureuserp/aureuserp.git .

Create New Database

Using phpMyAdmin (GUI)

1. Go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin
2. Log in with your MySQL credentials.
3. Click on the “New” tab.
4. In the “Create database” field, create a database
5. Click “Create” button.

After cloning or downloading the Aureus ERP project, open Visual Studio Code, then go to File > Open Folder and select the root folder of the Aureus ERP project.

Inside the project, locate the file named .env.example. This file contains example environment configurations.

Then open the file and scroll to the database configuration section. Uncomment (remove # if present) And edit the following lines to match your database setup:

• DB_CONNECTION=mysql
• DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
• DB_PORT=3306
• DB_DATABASE=aureuserp
• DB_USERNAME=your_database_user
• DB_PASSWORD=your_database_password

Replace your_database_name, your_database_user, and your_database_password With your actual MySQL database credentials. This step is essential to connect to your database during Installation and Runtime.

After configuring the .env.example file for database connection, you can run the following command in the Visual Studio Code terminal to set up the Laravel based Aureus ERP project:

composer create-project

When you execute this command, Composer installs the Laravel application and all necessary dependencies. As a result, it generates two important components in your project directory:

1. .env File
   This environment file holds configuration settings such as database connection details, app URL, and mail settings. If it wasn’t already created manually, Laravel will generate it during project setup by copying from .env.example.
2. vendor/ Directory
   This folder contains all the PHP dependencies required by Laravel based ERP application. Composer generates it and includes packages like the Laravel framework, routing, database ORM, and more.

These components are critical for running and customizing the Open source Aureus ERP application on your local development environment.

Install Aureus ERP

Now run the below command.

1. php artisan erp:install

After running the command php artisan erp:install In the terminal, the installation process will begin, setting up the database and seeding necessary data.

Once everything completes successfully, you will see a message displayed in the terminal saying:
“Installation is successful”.

This message indicates that Aureus ERP has been installed correctly and is ready for use.

2. php artisan serve

After successfully installing Aureus ERP, you can start the development server by running the following command in your project directory terminal to make an environment on the local server.

php artisan serve

This command launches Laravel’s built-in PHP development server, Accessible at http://localhost:8000. You can open this URL in your web browser to access and test the Aureus ERP application locally.

The server will keep running until you stop it manually by pressing Ctrl+C in the terminal.

The default landing page will display the Dashboard along with access to the Settings module only. This limited view is typically due to initial role permissions set during the installation.
