Introduction

Welcome to Yapeal Starter Guide.

This is a Starter Guide for both new users to Yapeal and a reference for experienced users, on how Yapeal is meant to be used and how to setup Yapeal to run smoothly on you website.

NOTE: This project is still a beta, which should be stable, but since it's beta it can contain errors that we might not be aware of.

Requirements

Yapeal have some requirements to work correctly.

• PHP 5.2.4 or greater with following extensions:
• curl
• date
• hash
• mysqli
• SPL
• xmlreader
• MySQL 5.0 or greater
• Should be able to run CronJob (Windows users can use Task Scheduler), since Yapeal is meant to be run as a background library in CLI (Command-line interface) mode.
• Also able to run CLI manually, since you will need that to be able to install Yapeal.

Downloading Yapeal

There is 2 ways to get Yapeal.

1. You can download Yapeal latest stable release from: Source Forge
2. (Advanced users)You can use Mercurial to get the latest release from: SF Yapeal Mercurial

Installing Yapeal

After you have downloaded the archive file, you are now ready to extract the file.

Windows:

Use the built-in zip handling of Vista or Win7's Windows Explorer to extract Yapeal where you want to put it. A path without any spaces in it is recommended as it saves you having to quote things when working from the command line. For example C:\yapeal\ is better than "My Documents" but either should work.

Linux:

cd /where/I/want/to/put/it/;tar -jxvf /where/I/downloaded/archive/yapeal-latest.tar.bz2

After Extracting or Pull From Mercurial

Go into the folder where you put Yapeal and open INSTALL.md in your favorite text editor or with your web browser and follow the instructions in there from step 3, since step 1 and 2 is the same as written here.
