1. Keep Database collation to "utf8_unicode_ci" while installing manually. 2. Install Composer and create zip for package curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php php composer.phar create-project bagisto/bagisto [[softpath]] 3. Install using CLI. https://github.com/bagisto/bagisto (Delete default .env file as it creates new on adding DB details) php artisan bagisto:install 4. PHP REQUIREMENT LINK : https://github.com/bagisto/bagisto#requirements 5. "config" updates when login 6. use "php artisan vendor:publish --all --force > publish.txt" command to get list of file and folder we need to be copy while softaculous install, check "publish.txt" file. 7. Remove DEFINER='root@localhost' as it is created again when our sql is imported. 8. Use mysqldump command for dumping bagisto.sql. i.e.mysqldump --routines -u root -pmysql bagi878 > bagi878.sql 9. Set APP_ENV=production and APP_DEBUG=false in .env file. 10. In `channels` table replace the urls having http://localhost with [[softurl]] and in `theme_customization_translations` table as [[softurl]]/public. This was already '[[softurl]]/public' in 2.1.0. 11. MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS set blank in .env file 12. Check and copy all changed files in /vendor/composer/ if there are changes and vendor/autoload.php 13. Check and copy following /storage/app/public/locales/ and /storage/app/public/theme from manual to zip, since those images are not created Since 2.2.1 (/public/storage/* and /storage/app/public/* is same) 14. Do not install with demo data and dbprefix. 15. Delete bootstrap/cache/packages.php & services.php, it gets created. 16. We have disabled Bagisto on windows because it make symlink to /public/storage to load all the images on front page and on windows symlinks are not created.
