Welcome to the exciting world of Ignition Go, a modular application-building framework that streamlines the creation of robust web applications. If you’re looking to kick off a project with a solid foundation, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we will take you through the steps of setting up Ignition Go, along with troubleshooting tips you might need along the way.

What is Ignition Go?

Ignition Go is a modular (HMVC) framework designed for building enterprise-class web applications. Think of it as your toolbox for creating web applications where each tool represents a “blox” — pluggable modules or applets which you can snap together to form the full structure of your application.

Getting Started with Ignition Go

Here’s a step-by-step guide to set up Ignition Go:

1. Check Server Requirements:
   • PHP 7.3 (or lower but not recommended)
   • Apache 2.4+ with rewrite mod enabled
   • MySQL 5.5+ or MariaDB
2. Clone the Repository: Open your terminal and run:

   git clone https://github.com/ci-blox/Ignition-Go.git myigoapp

3. Install Dependencies: Navigate into your new project directory:

   cd myigoapp

   Then choose one of the following options:

   1. Use Yarn and Gulp.js (recommended):
   2. For advanced users, you can map your webserver to the public folder.
4. Install Node.js, NPM, and Yarn:
   • Install Node.js [Node.js] for package management.
   • Install Yarn [Yarn].
5. Install Packages:

   yarn install

6. Create Database: Use a tool like HeidiSQL or phpMyAdmin to create an empty MySQL or MariaDB database.
7. Run Gulp:

   gulp

8. Access the Installation Wizard: Open your browser and navigate to: http://[your-web-root-from-step-7]/install/init

The Structure of Your Project

Understanding the folder structure is crucial for smooth development. Think of it as a house, where each room serves a different function:

• application/: The core code of your web application.
• public/: The entrance to your house where everything is displayed.
• modules/: Each module (or blox) serves as a room within your house, designed for specific interactions.

Troubleshooting Tips

Don’t worry if you encounter bumps along the way; here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• If you get PHP version errors, make sure your server is running PHP 7.3 or above.
• When Gulp is not running, verify your Node and Yarn installations.
• If pages fail to load, check your Apache configurations to ensure they point to the correct public folder.
