Setting up The Web-Interface locally

• The ViPER Web Interface is built with Laravel PHP framework. Laravel utilizes Composer to manage its dependencies. So, before using Laravel, make sure you have Composer installed on your machine.

• After Composer is properly installed you have to clone ViPER git repo here using git clone command

git clone https://github.com/DedSecInside/ViPER.git

• Now cd to the cloned ViPER Directory and install

cd ViPER && composer install

• Now before running the server you need to setup the database for ViPER. In order to do that you have to create a new database in mysql.

mysql -u<username> -p
and type the password for the user and after that,
create database ViPER;
exit
This will create a new database called ViPER.

• Now that your database is ready, you need to configure the environment file in the ViPER directory.
  cp .env.example .env
  this will create a copy of .env.example (example env file)

• Open .env with a text editor and make changes to the below part in your env file.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=ViPER
DB_USERNAME=YOUR MYSQL USER
DB_PASSWORD=YOUR MYSQL PASSWORD

• After making proper changes to your .env file you are ready to migrate the database
  php artisan migrate
  This will migrate the database schema required for ViPER.

• Type
  php artisan key:generate
  to generate the unique app key

• After that you may start the server using serve command
  php artisan serve
  This will run a server in your http://localhost:8000(by default)
