# Installation and Setup Guide for Vodlix

To get started with Vodlix, follow these steps to install and set up the system:

1. Extract the Vodlix zip file to the root directory of your server.
2. Install MongoDB 4.4 and Python 3 on your server. Refer to the `Readme.txt` file in the `main directory > processors` folder for detailed instructions.
3. Create a MySQL database and restore it from the default DB file.
4. Go to the API folder and run the `composer install` command.
5. Copy `.env.example` and rename it as `.env`.
6. Update the `.env` file with your MySQL and MongoDB details.
7. Run the following command in the API folder: `./vendor/bin/phinx status`. If everything is up, you're good to go. Otherwise, run `./vendor/bin/phinx migrate`.
8. Go back to the main directory.
9. Go to the `includes` folder and copy the `dbconnect.php.sample` file to `dbconnect.php`.
10. Go to the `frontend` folder and run the `yarn install` command.
11. Create `localConfigs.js` file and add the following code:

```css
export default {
  title: "Vodlix",
  axios: {
    baseURL: "https://www.domain.com/api"
  },
  env: {
    apiUrl: "https://www.domain.com/api"
  },
  server: {
    port: 3000,
    host: "127.0.0.1"
  }
}
```

Note: Replace `domain.com` with your domain name and change the port if you want to run on any other port.

12. Run the `yarn build` command in the frontend folder.
13. Once the build is generated, run the following command:

```wasm
pm2 start yarn --interpreter bash --name "APP NAME" -- start
```

Replace `APP NAME` with your domain or something else. 14. Go to the `main directory > vodlix_player` and run the following commands:

```
npm install && grunt
```

These steps will help you install and set up Vodlix on your server. If you encounter any issues, refer to the documentation or contact our support team for assistance.
