Install Routes Notes
- In order to install your application, go to the /install route and follow the instructions.
- Once the installation has ran the empty file installed will be placed into the /storage directory. If this file is present the route /install will abort to the 404 page.
Update Route Notes
- In order to update your application, go to the /update route and follow the instructions.
- The /update routes countes how many migration files exist in the /database/migrations folder and compares that count against the migrations table. If the files count is greater then the /update route will render, otherwise, the page will abort to the 404 page.
