Eckbar Marketplace Script 2.0

sudo apt-get update 

sudo apt-get install nginx 

sudo ufw allow 'Nginx HTTP' 

After both steps are done, you should check whats your VPS IP address and enter that IP in a browser. Youshould see 
welcome to nginx !
 page. If you do see it, nginx is installed correctly.
MySQL
Marketplace supports multiple databases like: MySQL,PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server We will use MySQL.

sudo apt-get install mysql-server 

mysql_secure_installation 

that will guide you trough securing your MySQL connection.After secure installation is done, we need to create database for Marketplace by running series of commands:

mysql -u root -p 

CREATE DATABASE marketplace DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci; 

exit

(above code are 3 separate commands)

PHP
We need to install PHP (PHP-FPM) to run our code.

sudo apt-get install php7.2-fpm php-mysql 

php -v 

sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php.ini 

Inside this file, there is commented line 
# cgi.fix_pathinfo=1
 You need to uncomment the line and setvalue to 
cgi.fix_pathinfo=0
 (without #)

In order for changes to take effect, php-fpm must be restarted.

sudo systemctl restart php7.2-fpm 

Now we need to install some PHP extensions that are required by Marketplace as well as composer and unzip tools

sudo apt-get install php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xml php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-gmp php7.2-curl php7.2-gd composer unzip -y 

(Above code is single command)

Elasticsearch

Marketplace uses Elasticsearch software that provices great search speeds and flexibility.

Elasticsearch requires Java in order to run

Oracle JDK 

Add repository to apt

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java 

Update apt

sudo apt update 

 Install Java:

sudo apt install oracle-java8-installer 

To see if Java is installed correctly run:

sudo update-alternatives --config java 

Exit out of the command. You should see the path similar to this: 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java
now we need to use that path and create environment variable

sudo nano /etc/environment 

At the bottom of the file add

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java" 

(Based on path above, if yours is different change it here)

In order for changes to take effect we need to reload environment file

source /etc/environment 

To check if everything is working enter:

echo $JAVA_HOME 

Command should give same path as before as output.

Elasticsearch installation
Now that java is installed, we can proceed with installation of Elasticsearch

wget https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/distribution/deb/elasticsearch/2.3.1/elasticsearch-2.3.1.deb 
(Above code is single command)Download 
.deb
 package and install it with:
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-2.3.1.deb 
We want Elasticsearch service to start when system boots up, so we enter:

sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch.service 

Now we need to start it up.

sudo systemctl start elasticsearch 

Give it 10-15 seconds from last command, and then run:

curl -X GET "localhost:9200" 

If you see information about your Elasticsearch engine, then installation is completed successfully.

Elasticsearch installation error

Elasticsearch has some problems on servers with low memory. In order to make it work we need to limit maxmemory Java is using. To check if this is an issue run:

sudo service elasticsearch status 

If you see 
"There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime..."
 inside the text, continue, if not then your installation is not done properly and you should remove all Elasticsearch packages and go back toinstalling it from the start.

Enter:

edit /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options 

Change to lower memory

-Xms512m 
-Xmx512m 

Then restart Elasticsearch:

sudo systemctl restart elasticsearch 

Give it 10-15 seconds and then run:

curl -X GET "localhost:9200" 

If you see information about your Elasticsearch engine, then installation is completed successfully.

Redis
This step is optional, but will greatly increase your app performance.

sudo apt install redis-server 

After redis installation is done open redis config file:

sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf 

In there find supervised and change it from supervised no to  supervised systemd and save the file.

Reload Redis with:

sudo systemctl restart redis.service 

And check if its running with

sudo systemctl status redis.service 

To check if Redis is installed correctly enter:

redis-cli 

it should open Redis interface running on port 6379. By entering  ping you should get response PONG If everything is fine, type exit and exit redis-cli.

Node and NPM

We need NodeJs and NPM in order to compile our client side css files.

Install NodeJs:

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs 

Install NPM:

sudo apt-get install -y npm 

To check if they are installed properly run:

node -v npm -v 

(Above code are 2 commands)

Files

Now we need to copy Marketplace files to the server. Make new directory inside 
/var/www
 and put all files there. You can call it whatever you want.

Permissions

After files are copied we need to give them permissions.Run theese commands based on your file path:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/DIRECTORY_NAME/public 

sudo chmod 755 /var/www 

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/DIRECTORY_NAME/bootstrap/cache 

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/DIRECTORY_NAME/storage 

Run:

php artisan storage:link 

To link public directory with storage.Make this folder: (for product pictures)

sudo mkdir /var/www/DIRECTORY_NAME/storage/public/products 

And give it permissions

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/DIRECTORY_NAME/storage/public/products 
sudo chgrp -R www-data storage/storage/public/products 
sudo chmod -R ug+rwx storage/storage/public/products 

(Above code are 3 commands)
Installation

After everything above is done, change current directory to the 

DIRECTORY_NAME you previously chose(marketplace files) and run series of commands to install all required dependencies:

composer install 
npm install 
npm run prod 
cp .env.example .env 
php artisan key:generate 

(Above code are 4 commands)

Then open your .env file and insert database connection details:

sudo nano .env 

Example of database configuration:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 
DB_PORT=3306 
DB_DATABASE=marketplace 
DB_USERNAME=root 
DB_PASSWORD=password 

If you did install redis, change driver from 
sync to redis

CACHE_DRIVER=redis 

Now you can try running:

php artisan migrate 

Now, you can create some dummy data, with:

php artisan db:seed 

f both commands ran fine, your connection to database is configured fine. If you want to get rid of dummydata, run:

php artisan migrate:fresh 

Your basic marketplace is working now, congratulations !

Connecting coins

Marketplace has support for various coins. Each coin has its on prefix in .env file as well as connectionparameters. Connection paramters are:

HOST 
PORT 
USERNAME 
PASSWORD 

And coin prefixes are:
Bitcoin - BITCOIND
Litecoin - LITECOIN
Monero - MONERO
Pivx - PIVX
Dash - DASH
Verge - VERGE
Bitcoin Cash - BITCOIN_CASH

Knowing this, you can input connection parameters in 
.env accordingly. For example, for Bitcoin you wouldenter 
BITCOIND_HOST=server_ip, or for Dash 
DASH_PASSWORD=password
.
Marketplace configuration
Marketplace configuration is split into multiple files located in 
config folder. Main one is marketplace.php You will find most of the config options described or self-explanatory. Other than  marketplace.php
 You can configure levels and experience in experience.php
 and marketplace addresses for receiving profits in
coins.php
