How to install heroic cms?
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature currently requires accessing the site using the built-in Safari browser.
A few things,Easiest way.
Go to:You must be registered to see links
Download < Development > build.
Extract the folder to your Desktop.
Go to MySQL and make a new database.
Upload Heroic Two.sql file to your database.
Go to "Ready To Use" folder
Run "Install Before Using.msi" that will install Node.
Ignore if you already have that installed.
When that is done, then you can run
"Run Before Using.bat"
Configure the < Config.ini > file. Make sure your Mysql details are correct.
Then run:
Heroic.exe
That is the easiest way, out of the box.
Different way.
- Download and install Node.
- Go to the folder "Backend".
- Open up CMD (Command Prompt)
- Change your location of your CMD to the Backend folder.
Example in Console: cd C:\Users\YourUserName\Desktop\Heroic\Backend
- Write in console: npm install
(It should start to download Modules.)
- Move your config.ini file to the Backend folder.
Configure it and make sure your MySQL details are correct.
(Has to exist in order to get it running.) Can be found in the "Ready to Use" folder.
- Write in console: node build/boot.js
Well done. Open up your browser and write in localhost.
I'm very new myself to Node, never used it before. But didnt take me very long time to figure it out.
If I said something that is wrong, please correct me. I'm no expert when it comes to this.
Don't get it working? Let us know.
A few things,
The tutorial for the heroic.exe is spot on.
However,
When you want to use the full source this means you’re most likely going to edit the code. For that you would want to run npm run debug
abd if you’re planning on editing the front end code, you’d use gulp watch. It’s important not to change the folder structure including the front end and backend folder names as that’s how the compiled front end goes back into the websites dist.
Once you finish with your edite, you’d run npm run build and pkg . Which will produce a new heroic.exe
i apologize for not being much help with this release, however for any feature requests or ideas, bug reports feel free to join the official discord. I will not be able to help much until I finish moving which will take a few weeks (1-2)
