Getting started with ImpressPages from Github #845

I've installed the official download and quickly found a few warnings I thought I could easily fix. It turns out it's not that easy as the github version doesn't install that easily.

I've installed the composer dependencies and started a webserver in start-pack. That fails with Cannot find relative path for ImpressPages/Ip/Internal/Install/Helper.php. Okay, seems like a missing file is causing a problem, let's try the install script.

I switch into bin and run the script, can't find autoload.php, I go a level higher, still can't find it. I look into the code and wonder how that can even work, there's no vendor in the path. I change the path, next try, fails because the script should be executed from the project root where composer.json is placed, that's where I am...

I believe I've skimmed through all pages in your documentation and can't find a single word about this. The readme in this repo is also very short and doesn't contain anything that would help me.

Please tell where I should have looked for the missing instructions and please add/link them to the readme!

Have you executed 'composer install'?

Remo commented 7 years ago

Yes, I've installed the composer dependencies, but how should this code ever work if it's supposed to be executed in the root directory https://github.com/impresspages/ImpressPages/blob/master/bin/setup.php#L3?

Please read "try" section:
