A Volunteer Management Software for Jacksonville Refugee services
This software helps manage multiple volunteers, donation, events, and programs for the Jacksonville Refugee Community Services.
JRCS Volunteer Management is a web based application hosted in the cloud for scalability and performance.
JRCS Can be easily installed on a local environment. If you prefer to use the JRCS applicatino without downloading any files you can access the production version of the application at https://jrcs.herokuapp.com. Simply open up a command line utility navigate to the directory where you want JRCS installed and type git clone https://github.com/cbartram/JRCS.git
This will clone the JRCS repository onto your local computer.
Next Navigate to the root directory of JRCS in your command line utility e.g. cd laravel-jrcs
Run php artisan serve this will launch the JRCS application on PHP's built it webserver using artisan. You can view the application at http://localhost:8000/
Contact @cbartram if you have any issues with the database or want to setup a local copy instead. By default JRCS will connect to the database set up in the development environment on Heroku, however, this may not be ideal for testing application components which require inserting or updating large quantities of data in the database.
Ensure that you install composer (dependency manager) for php correctly from http://getcomposer.org
Run this in a command prompt or terminal
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
The basic script above:
- Downloads the installer to the current directory
- Verifies the installer SHA-384 Hash
- Runs the installer
- Removes the installer
(If it gives you an error run the commands as sudo)
Now that you have composer installed run
php composer-setup.php --filename=composer
On Mac you can simply do sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer to move composer to your classpath.
Access composer in terminal using the cmd composer from wherever you are!
On Windows follow this tutorial http://leedavis81.github.io/global-installation-of-composer-on-windows/
Navigate to your root directory for JRCS and run composer update after composer has been updated run php artisan serve to access your local webserver at http://localhost:8000/
If your still recieving errors try following the composer installation guide from the beginning on their website at http://getcomposer.org
