The requirements for Snipe-IT are fairly standard for a modern web server, and most servers will have most or all of these components already installed. If for some reason you don’t have them installed, they are relatively easy to add.

NOTE ON SHARED HOSTING:

If you’re installing Snipe-IT on shared hosting, you should have most of these installed already, with the exception of LDAP. LDAP integration may not be possible on shared hosting, depending on your web host. Email your hosting provider’s support team to determine if your server meets the requirements to install Snipe-IT.

File Structure

When the archive is unzipped (or when the git clone is complete), you should see a file structure similar to this in your Snipe-IT installation directory.

📘NOTE:

The public directory highlighted above, NOT your overall snipe-it installation directory, will be the web root of your Snipe-IT URL.

Your Environmental Config File

🚧IMPORTANT!

Snipe-IT caches these variables for you to speed things up. If you make subsequent changes to this file, make sure you run php artisan config:clear to clear the compiled version to see your changes.

All system configuration variables are stored in a single .env file in your project’s root. To get started, copy over the .env.example file to a new .env file:Shell (Linux)

cp .env.example .env

Noted composer in ssh hosting

composer install –ignore-platform-reqs

php artisan key:generate
