### Description

Worksuite is a project management software written in Laravel 5.4 (PHP Framework) which is specifically developed for freelancers and SMEs (Small/Medium sized enterprises). You can manage your company's daily work, your employee's tasks, keep a track on project's progress and much more. It is designed with latest security and code standards.

### Server Requirements

The Server needs to meet the following requirement to the application.

1. PHP >= 7.1.X
2. OpenSSL PHP Extension
3. PDO PHP Extension
4. Mbstring PHP Extension
5. Tokenizer PHP Extension
6. XML PHP Extension
7. GD PHP Extension
8. Fileinfo PHP Extension

### Installation

Pre-installation Requirements:
File System Permissions
To be able to start the installation at all, you must set appropriate permissions for storage folder and it's subfolders. So, the very first thing to do is to set permissions to 777 for storage folder, all its subfolders.
After setting the permissions you are ready to proceed to the installation.
After downloading the ZIP archive, and uploading it to your server, the first thing you have to do is to create the database where system tables will be created. Let's say, you create the database called pms.

## Step 1 - Welcome Screen

After creating the database next step is accessing the application URL from a browser. One thing you need to know is that Laravel is designed to allow HTTP access to the application from your public folder only. This means that this application will be available at yourdomain.com/public. It is good enough for installation and development purposes, however, for production, you will probably want to have your application available at yourdomain.com. In next section, I will show you how you can accomplish that.

Note: If you see any error check that you should have .env file at your root location.

To open the installer. Visit

yourdomain.com/public/install
Now the installer will show up.The First screen will be Welcome Screen
Note: If you are not able to access the website by accessing yourdomain.com/public/install, but you are able to access it via yourdomain.com/public/index.php/install, this means that you probably don't have Apache mod_rewrite installed and enabled.

## Step 2 - Database/Environment Setting

On step 2 you have to fill in your database credentials

## Step 3: System Requirements

After clicking on "Next" button, you will be redirected to System Requirements step during the installation wizard, System Requirements.

## Step 4 - Directory Permissions

After successfully enabling and installing all required PHP extensions, next step is to set the appropriate permissions for some system folders. All directories listed on step 4 has to be writable by the application, as it is displayed on the following picture.

## Step 5: Exit

The last step is exit step.
