Installation
============

Download bundles
----------------

To begin, add the dependent bundles to the ``src/`` directory. If you are using
git, you can add them as submodules::

  git submodule add git@github.com:sonata-project/jQueryBundle.git src/Sonata/jQueryBundle
  git submodule add git@github.com:sonata-project/BluePrintBundle.git src/Sonata/BluePrintBundle
  git submodule add git@github.com:sonata-project/AdminBundle.git src/Sonata/AdminBundle
  git submodule add git@github.com:sonata-project/MenuBundle.git src/Knplabs/Bundle/MenuBundle

If you are not using git, you will have to download them :

  - https://github.com/sonata-project/jQueryBundle/archives/master
  - https://github.com/sonata-project/BluePrintBundle/archives/master
  - https://github.com/sonata-project/AdminBundle/archives/master
  - https://github.com/sonata-project/MenuBundle/archives/master
  
Configuration
-------------
  
Next, be sure to enable the bundles in your application kernel:

.. code-block:: php

  // app/autoload.php
  $loader->registerNamespaces(array(
      // ...
      'Sonata'                         => __DIR__.'/../src',
      'Knplabs'                        => __DIR__.'/../src',
      // ...
  ));

  // app/AppKernel.php
  public function registerBundles()
  {
      return array(
          // ...
          new Sonata\jQueryBundle\SonatajQueryBundle(),
          new Sonata\BluePrintBundle\SonataBluePrintBundle(),
          new Sonata\AdminBundle\SonataAdminBundle(),
          new Knplabs\Bundle\MenuBundle\KnplabsMenuBundle(),
          // ...
      );
  }


The bundle also contains several routes. Import them by adding the following
code to your application's routing file:

.. code-block:: yaml

    # app/config/routing.yml
    admin:
        resource: '@SonataAdminBundle/Resources/config/routing/sonata_admin.xml'
        prefix: /admin

    _sonata_admin:
        resource: .
        type: sonata_admin
        prefix: /admin

Now, install the assets of the different bundles: ``php app/console assets:install web --symlink``.
At this point you can access to the dashboard with the url: ``http://yoursite.local/admin/dashboard``.

.. note::

    If you're using XML or PHP to specify your application's configuration,
    the above configuration and routing will actually be placed in those
    files, with the correct format (i.e. XML or PHP).
