BootIgniter

A CodeIgniter-based project boilerplate with some additional features that make development easier. It is a Lightweight Open Source package for you to build your own Custom Codeigniter-based application, instead of customize & remove unnecessary features.

Disclaimer

THIS PACKAGE IS FOR MY PERSONAL USE ONLY, that's it!

Requirements

1. PHP version 5.3 or newer

   By default, CodeIgniter can be run on PHP version 5.2.4 (as minimum requirement) but in order to use PHPUnit and some order dependencies through composer, I recommend to use 5.3 or newer

2. Composer

   Make sure you have Composer installed on your machine. If you don't have it installed, grab it from their official site.

3. Node.JS

   In this case because I use Grunt.JS and Bower, I need Node.JS already installed. If you're not familiar with Node.JS, take a look at their official site for more informations.

Installation

Create a directory and cd into it.

$ mkdir <foldername>
$ cd <foldername>

Install using Composer

I assume you're inside of the directory that has been created above.

$ composer create-project feryardiant/bootigniter .

You're on fire now.
