1. Keep Database collation to "utf8mb4_unicode_ci" while installing manually (Mentioned here https://devdocs.bagisto.com/getting-started/before-you-start.html#%F0%9F%97%84%EF%B8%8F-database)
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://devdocs.bagisto.com/getting-started/installation.html#%F0%9F%9A%80-quick-installation-recommended and vendor\composer\platform_check.php(php 8.3.0 mentioned in 2.3.12 in this file, as composer dependencies require it and 8.2.0 throws error)
5. "config" updates when login
6. [NA since 2.3.4] 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/
/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.
17. Mariadb requirement mentioned here https://bagisto.com/en/download/
