Install

To install Arkhein, follow these steps.

Installation Steps

1. Clone the repository

bash
git clone https://github.com/melasistema/arkhein.git
cd arkhein

2. Install dependencies

bash
composer install
npm install

3. Build frontend assets

bash
npm run build

4. Configure the environment

Copy the example environment file and update it with your settings.

bash
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

5. Start the NativePHP dev server

bash
php artisan native:serve

Invariants

  • Environment Isolation: Arkhein uses the .env file to manage its local configuration.
  • Port Conflicts: NativePHP will notify you if a port required for its internal web server is already in use.

Common Failures

Build Errors

If npm run build fails, ensure your Node.js version is compatible with the project requirements.

NativePHP Serving

If php artisan native:serve does not start the macOS application window, check the Laravel log for any missing PHP extensions or runtime errors.
