Installation

How to Install FusionInvoice

Step 1: Download the install package

Log into your account at FusionInvoice.com and download the latest package. Save it locally to your computer.

Step 2: Unzip the install package

Navigate to the downloaded install package and unzip the contents.

Step 3: Create a database

Using phpMyAdmin (or whatever tool you use to manage your MySQL databases with), create a new, empty database to use with FusionInvoice. Depending on your web host, you may create new databases from within your hosting control panel. If you are unsure how to create an empty database, contact your web host or system administrator.

Step 4: Database configuration

Open config/database.php from the unzipped installer package, edit accordingly for your database settings and save the modified file.

Typically you should only have to configure the host, database, username and password values to connect to your database. Compatibility with MySQL is 100% guaranteed. Other database types may or may not work as expected and will no longer be supported.

'mysql' => [
    'host'      => 'localhost',
    'database'  => 'fusioninvoice',
    'username'  => 'root',
    'password'  => 'password',
    'prefix'    => '',

    'driver'    => 'mysql',
    'charset'   => 'utf8',
    'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
    'strict'    => false,
],

Step 5: License key configuration

Open config/app.php from the unzipped installer package and replace the ReplaceThisWithYourOwnLicenseKey value with your license key listed in your FusionInvoice.com account panel and save the modified file. Be sure there are no leading or trailing spaces.

'key' => 'ReplaceThisWithYourOwnLicenseKey',
