How to install the environment?

To begin setting up your development environment on your local machine, open your terminal and execute the following command:

statik install

The SiteBox CLI will prompt you to provide the required identifiers sucha as: "company," "project," and "backend."

These identifiers are essential for configuring your development environment.

❯ statik install
? Company ACME Corporation (acmecorp_onmc)
? Project Hosting (hosting_tqbp)
? Backend main (main_ueub)

Once you've provided these basic pieces of information, the installation process will begin. This process involves cloning the necessary files and installing the required dependencies. It may take a while, so arm yourself with patience.

How to start server?

After the installation process is complete, you will receive a confirmation message with instructions for navigating to your site and running it locally.

The CLI created the site as a new folder with the name of the repository.

Start by going to the directory with

cd acmecorp-hosting

Start the local development environment with

statik backend start

The SiteBox CLI will launch the environment on the first available port (starting from 8080), for example: http://localhost:8080.

Enjoy and develop

Now you’re ready to make changes to your site!

During the installation process, the admin user has been created. You can log in to the WordPress dashboard using the following command:

statik backend login

You will be asked to select a user, after which a "magic link" will be displayed, allowing you to log in to the WordPress dashboard without entering a password.
