Thank you for purchasing SureBooking!

QUICK START — INSTALLATION:
============================

Method 1: Docker (Recommended for testing)
------------------------------------------
1. Install Docker Desktop
2. Extract the package files
3. Run: docker-compose up -d
   (.env and APP_KEY are created automatically on first start)
4. Open: http://localhost:9059/install
5. Complete the 7-step web installer wizard
6. Start the queue worker:
   docker exec -it surebooking_php php artisan queue:work --queue=high,default

Method 2: Shared Hosting / XAMPP / MAMP / Laragon
-----------------------------------------
1. Upload all files to your web root (vendor/ is bundled — Composer not required)
2. Point your domain / virtual host to the public/ folder
3. Open: http://yourdomain.com/install
4. Complete the 7-step web installer wizard
5. Run the queue worker (see QUEUE WORKERS below)

Method 3: php artisan serve (local development)
------------------------------------------------
1. Extract the package and run:
   php artisan serve --no-reload
2. Open: http://localhost:8000/install
3. Complete the 7-step web installer wizard

NOTE: The --no-reload flag is required. Without it, artisan serve
auto-restarts when .env is written and may switch to a different port
(e.g. 8001), making the app unreachable on the original port.

ADMIN LOGIN (after install):
=============================
During the web installer (Step 5 — Admin Account), you set your
own admin name, email, and password. Use those credentials to log in at /admin.

QUEUE WORKERS:
==============
Queue workers are required for sending emails and processing background jobs.

For testing:
  php artisan queue:work --queue=high,default

For production (keep this running via Supervisor):
  See the full guide: documents/install.html → Queue Worker section

================
* Mail: Configure via Admin Panel → Settings → Email Configuration
  (No need to edit .env manually for mail settings)

  curl, gd, imagick, json, zip, mbstring, xml, pdo, bcmath
