To install Survloop, you'll need first need PHP 8.0 and Composer installed in your development environment. These more comprehensive instructions describe how to set up a development environment using VirutalBox, Vargrant, and Laravel's Homestead:

• How To Install Survloop Locally with Homestead
• How To Install Survloop on Ubuntu 20.04

Basic Installation: Laravel & Survloop

For these instructions, the new project directory is "survproject".

% composer create-project laravel/laravel survproject "8.5.*"
% cd survproject
% nano .env

Edit the environment file (.env) to set the URL and connect your MYSQL database.

% php artisan key:generate
% php artisan cache:clear
% composer require rockhopsoft/survloop
% nano composer.json

...
"autoload": {
    ...
    "psr-4": {
        ...
        "RockHopSoft\\Survloop\\": "vendor/rockhopsoft/survloop/src/",
    }
    ...
}, ...

Editing config/app.php seems to still be needed:

% composer update
% nano config/app.php

...
'providers' => [
    ...
    App\Providers\FortifyServiceProvider::class,
    RockHopSoft\Survloop\SurvloopServiceProvider::class,
    ...
],
...
'aliases' => [
    ...
    'Survloop' => 'RockHopSoft\Survloop\SurvloopFacade',
    ...
], ...

% php artisan config:clear
% php artisan route:clear
% php artisan view:clear
% echo "0" | php artisan vendor:publish --force
% composer dump-autoload

Fill Database

% php artisan migrate --force
% php artisan db:seed --force --class=SurvloopSeeder
% php artisan db:seed --force --class=ZipCodeSeeder
% php artisan db:seed --force --class=ZipCodeSeeder2
% php artisan db:seed --force --class=ZipCodeSeeder3
% php artisan db:seed --force --class=ZipCodeSeeder4

Initialize Survloop Installation

If everything went well, this script should preload the system CSS before you open your first page in the browser, and just returns a smiley face:

% curl http://survproject.local/css-reload

Browse to the home page, and it should prompt you to create the first admin user account:
http://survproject.local

If everything looks janky, then manually load the style sheets, etc:
http://survproject.local/css-reload

After logging in as an admin, this link rebuilds many supporting files:
http://survproject.local/dashboard/settings?refresh=2

Then you should be able to open the home page, and log in.
http://survproject.local
