404 Error on Install

I have tried to install this multiple times on my local dev environment. I use a Macbook, Laravel Valet, MySQL.

After extracting the files and going to them in the browser, I get a 404 error message, not allowing me to go through the installation process.

Do I have to download a LAMP environment? Or does Valet work for this? I was assuming it was because of the Laravel ecosystem, but didn't want to download MAMP just for this and muddy up my computer if I didn't have to.

Try this:

Hello,

Please, make sure you've set the "APP_URL" value in the .env file, located in the root directory of your Akaunting installation:


APP_URL=https://my-domain.com/installed-folder


Of course, "my-domain.com" and "installed-folder" depend on your installation.

Kind Regards,
Melda

Great. Thank you. I ended up having to change the value to “local” instead of “production”. Once I did that, the install process worked smoothly. Thanks!

i am still facing this issue with valet , index.php & .htaccess normally in public folder, i try move those 2 files but the page error loading resources

Hey folks, I've added a PR which makes the base install much smoother if you're using Laravel Valet/Herd: https://github.com/akaunting/akaunting/pull/3174

Feel free to drop this file into your own version to get things working.

Please add your votes and comments on the PR and hopefully this will make it into the project,
