I downloaded a fresh repo on my PC to get back into working on KOS, however, it seems like its been a while since anyone did that. In the meantime, Chartisan, which we were using to render the lab activity graph on the dashboard, was shut down due to a copyright request, along with ConsoleTVs v7. This rendered it impossible to do a fresh composer install and allow anyone to begin contributing.
This PR rolls back from using Chartisan to using ConsoleTVs v6 to render the lab activity graph. In addition, downloading the repo for the first time, errors are encountered with Laravel until the directories storage/framework/cache, storage/framework/sessions, and storage/framework/views are added. I added those directories to the repo by including an empty .gitignore file in each of them, then added them to the project .gitignore in the next commit. This way, those empty directories will be included for any fresh developers, but nothing in them will get committed.
