Hello Angelos and thanks for your feedback. Please revisit my answer about install script:
MapIgniter install procedure is similar to Laravel install procedure. It > can be manually installed by using the instructions documented in > MapIgniter GitHub repository. Also, there is an install script (linux) that > automates the install process. Just enter onto Apache public folder and run > as superuser from shell* curl > https://raw.githubusercontent.com/taviroquai/mapigniter2/master/install.sh > <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/taviroquai/mapigniter2/master/install.sh> > | sh* Cheers :) Marco 2015-11-27 9:22 GMT+00:00 Angelos Tzotsos <gcpp.kal...@gmail.com>: > Hi Marco, > > Thank you for your request.
