Installation & Build

Info: Please note, the use of Node, Webpack & Gulp and their advanced settings are totally optional. You can use and customize the template without using them too.

We have used understandable and easy-to-understand instructions to help you install Menilo- PHP Admin & Dashboard Template in your project. Follow the below steps to get started.

1.Xampp

Prerequisite: Make sure to have the Xampp installed & running in your computer. PHP Version 8.4 or Higher

1. Install Yarn and Node.js (if not already installed)

Prerequisite: Ensure Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) are installed on your system. Make sure to use node version 22.*.
Command: If Node.js is not installed, download and install it from the website. npm comes bundled with Node.js.

2. Install Node Modules

Setup: Open your terminal or command prompt from the Menilo_PHP_v1.0.0/Admin folder.
Execute: Run the following command to install all the required Node.js packages and dependencies specified in the package.json file:
```
yarn
```
Explanation: This command will download and install all the necessary dependencies for your project, including build tools, libraries, and plugins, ensuring your development environment is set up correctly.

3. Create a Production Build & Libraries Folder

Command: After the dependencies are installed, generate a production-ready build by running:
```
yarn run build
```
Outcome: This command compiles and optimizes your assets, creating a distribution folder (`/assets`) that contains minified and ready-to-deploy files. It ensures your project is optimized for performance in a production environment.
