installing akaunting locally on an ubuntu 18 server with mysql and nginx.

hit the first surprise that Akaunting doesn't follow laravel in having index.php in /public - but we got over that..

then it complained that it couldn't connect to teh database using "forge" ie it didn't have a .env file.. copied in .env.example to .env and then it complained about ciphers as per teh title.. I'm scrating my head here..

I'd like to install Akunting locally so I can develop a timesheet system.. but it seems not to be able to install locally?

ok what works so far..

1. make sure dir is clean and unzip current release as www user

2. as www user run "php artisan key:generate"

3. got to <Akunting web url>/install complete steps as appropriate

Installation docs forget to tell you that you need to generate the app key.  They also forget to tell you the web server configuration.

Hello,

The APP_KEY is automatically generated in a normal installation.

Anyway, glad to see you managed it.
