How to run the API locally

[pietro909]

Hello, thank you for sharing this amazing project!
I'm trying to run it locally, on OSX with PHP 7.0 installed.

This is the message I'm getting:

$ php -S localhost:8000 -t app
PHP 7.1.14 Development Server started at Mon Jul  2 14:15:54 2018
Listening on https://localhost:8000
Document root is /Users/pietrograndi/workspace/gabra-web/app
Press Ctrl-C to quit.
[Mon Jul  2 14:15:58 2018] ::1:53852 [200]: / - Can't find application core file. Please create /Users/pietrograndi/workspace/gabra-web/app/Config/core.php, and make sure it is readable by PHP. in /Users/pietrograndi/workspace/gabra-web/lib/Cake/Core/Configure.php on line 76

I guess there are some missing files?

Hi Pietro,
There are a few steps to get it running locally. The first is, as the error message says, that you need a core.php file. The reason this is not in the repository is because the settings there are system-specific. But you can rename/copy the file core.php.default and fill in your settings there. The same applies to database.php.default.

Note that this repository only contains the web interface, not the database backend. For that, see the repository https://github.com/MLRS/gabra-api.
