The reason that we're launching this is because we need to do a couple of things to

Next, install is going to start installing it and you're done.

So what I did was, uncheck view release notes, and I want to launch the program and then

click next and then is going to launch up the command terminal.

Now I'm going to go inside the WWW root folder and create a new folder and give it a name,

and then go inside the folder and I'm going to copy that path, now that path is where

I'm going to drop the HTML, the images of the snipe software into.

Okay, so copy that path go inside your Git terminal.

And we need to run the following command.

Alright so we're pulling all the snipe files, and we're dropping it inside this folder.

This is my website.

Hit Enter.

It's gonna start cloning downloading all the information inside that folder and once it's

done you're able to go back inside that folder and you're going to see everything that you

need for snipe to work correctly within your environment.

So, we need to do a couple of things and we need to locate this file and make a copy of

it.

We're going to right click on it and then we're going to rename it

as the follwoing, and then hit enter.

Just hit

yes here, and then we're good to go.

Now right click on the file, and we need to edit now

we need to take care of a couple of things within this file so the first

thing that we're going to take care of is the basic app settings, and the only thing

that I'm going to change right here would be my app URL, this would be my app URL.

Now, next thing that we need to take care of is the database settings.

So we're going to click on Start,

and within start we are going to open up Maria DB folder, and we are going to launch up the

MySQL client command terminal.

Awesome, enter your password, and the first command that we're going to enter would be

this we are going to create a database called snipe it.

Awesome.

I'm going to run a command of show database to make sure that this

snipe it database was created.

And we're going to run the following

command to create a user hit enter, and then we're going

to give the new user

access to our new database

using this command here hit enter and then

go back inside that ENV file and fill out the following information, fill out your database

name, the username and the password.

Now the next thing that we need to do is configure your dump path, now to do that we need to

go inside Program Files, Maria dB, and your bin file, is your dump

file.

But we need to hold the shift key, right click on that bin folder and then click on

copy as path.

Once you do that, open up PowerShell,

and enter CMD hit Enter, and we need to run the following command.

Hit enter.

Awesome.

Now this echo is basically what we need to copy and then paste it inside the ENV file,

but make sure you add an additional

backslash like this.

Right.

Once you're done save the file.

Now click on start, and within start we're going to type in CMD, and then hit enter.

From here we're going to change the directory to go inside our snipe it folder our website

we need to run the following command of composer install hit enter, you're going to get some

issues, and to fix this we need to go inside the php.ini file and enter the following extension

and then save the file.

Go back inside your command prompt and start composer install again you're going to see

that it's going to start downloading and installing and then you're good to go.

Now, within the command

prompt we need to generate a key with the following

command hit Enter

Type in Yes, hit Enter, and we're good to go.

Now, open up your IIS Manager and open up sites, we need to stop the default website,

we're going to select the site's folder, right click on it, add a website into your site

name physical path and your host name this is the information that I provided it Okay,

once you hit OK.

Select your new website, and we need to go inside mappings.

And within mappings we need to make the following changes so locate the PHP fast CGI, double

click on it, within the executable dialog box, make sure that that path is within double

quotations, click on

Request restrictions, go to verbs

and add the following verbs of delete, put and patch, and then click OK.

OK, click yes here.

And we need to do one more change locate the PHP 53 fast CGI double click on it.

Make sure the executable path is inside double quotations, click on Request restrictions,

go to verbs and add the following verbs and delete, put and patch in hit OK.

Okay, and it yes now within public and uploads right click on it and we need to change the

permissions and add the internet user account and give it full control, then we need to

go inside bootstrap and right click on cache and add the internet user and give that

User Account full

control, then we need to go inside storage, right click on it, go to properties go to

security, and we need to enter internet user and give that user only modified rights to

that particular folder.

And then we need to go inside windows temp.

You're going to add the internet user accounts, and only give it modify rights and open up

your favorite browser type in your host name.

hit enter and it's going to launch up the snipe it, and you get green checkmarks which

is a good thing and then you're going to click on create database table, I received this

issue.

So, the way that I fixed it was the following I needed to open up the command prompt, I

change the directory to go to my website, and I ran the following command to migrate

it enter I typed in Yes, enter; done.

Go back inside the site and you're going to see that it is going to state there was nothing

to migrate your database tables were already set out, then click on Create new user enter

all the information that's highlighted in orange.

Once we've done there.

Click on Save user, and it takes you directly to your snipe it Asset Management site.
