How to Install PartKeepr on Windows 10

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PartKeepr on your Windows 10 operating system. PartKeepr is a web-based inventory management system that allows you to organize and track your electronic components, products, and tools.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation process, please make sure that you have the following:

  • A Windows 10 operating system
  • Apache web server
  • MySQL database software
  • PHP 7.1 or later

Step 1: Download PartKeepr

The first step is to download the latest stable version of PartKeepr from https://www.partkeepr.org.

Step 2: Extract PartKeepr

Once you have downloaded the file, extract it to a directory of your choice on your computer.

Step 3: Configure Apache

Next, configure Apache to use the directory with PartKeepr. Open the httpd.conf file located in the Apache/conf directory and make the following changes:

DocumentRoot "C:/path/to/partkeepr"
<Directory "C:/path/to/partkeepr">
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  Require all granted
</Directory>

Replace the "C:/path/to/partkeepr" with the actual path where you extracted PartKeepr in step 2.

Step 4: Configure MySQL

Create a new database for PartKeepr in MySQL. You can use phpMyAdmin or any MySQL tool to create a database. Once created, grant all privileges to a new user for the database.

Step 5: Configure PartKeepr

Edit the file "app/config/parameters.yml" and replace the database configuration section with the following:

parameters:
    database_host: 127.0.0.1
    database_port: null
    database_name: partkeepr
    database_user: username
    database_password: password

Replace the "database_name", "database_user", and "database_password" with the ones you created in step 4.

Step 6: Install Dependencies

Install all the dependencies required by PartKeepr by running the following command in the command prompt:

composer install

Make sure that "composer" is installed on your system. If not, download it from https://getcomposer.org/ and follow the installation instructions.

Step 7: Run PartKeepr Installer

Run the PartKeepr installer by opening a command prompt and navigating to the directory with PartKeepr. 

php app/console partkeepr:install

This will start the installation process of PartKeepr. Follow the prompts in the installation wizard to complete the installation.

Step 8: Access PartKeepr

After the installation is complete, you can access PartKeepr by visiting http://localhost in your web browser.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed PartKeepr on your Windows 10 operating system!
