For CodeCanyon buyers
You bought ElmapiCMS on CodeCanyon. You get a download package, not a GitHub invite from the shop. The product is the same. Only the first steps differ.
What is in the download
| File | Use |
|---|---|
elmapicms.zip | Full Laravel application for local install, Docker, or your own Git remote |
vendor.zip | Optional. Use if composer install fails on your machine |
elmapicms.sql | Optional. Use if migrations fail and you need a ready database dump |
elmapicmsInstaller.zip | Shared hosting deploy. See Deploy on shared hosting |
Local install
- Download the package from your CodeCanyon account.
- Extract
elmapicms.zip. - Put the app folder where your local stack expects it (for Laravel Herd:
~/Herd/elmapicmsor your Windows Herd path). Rename the folder toelmapicmsif needed so the site ishttp://elmapicms.test. - Open a terminal in that folder. Do not run
git clone. You already have the files. - Continue with the normal platform guide from the Install PHP dependencies step:
| Platform | Guide |
|---|---|
| Windows (Laravel Herd) | Install on Windows |
| macOS (Laravel Herd) | Install on macOS |
| Docker | Install with Docker |
Skip any Clone the repository section in those guides.
If Composer or migrations fail
composer installfails: copyvendor.zipinto the app folder, extract it, then continue.- Migrations fail: import
elmapicms.sqlwith your database tool, then continue with.envand the login steps in the platform guide.
Deploy
- Shared hosting: use
elmapicmsInstaller.zipand Deploy on shared hosting. - Git-based hosts (Forge, Laravel Cloud, VPS with Git): create a repository you control, push the extracted
elmapicms.zipcontents to it, then connect hosting to your remote. See Deployment.
