Hello,

The APP_KEY isn't set for some reason. Please run php artisan key:generate or replace the APP_KEY line with following

APP_KEY=base64:0XSYOkxxtFcndVXGtI8vwDkC4WX8I5XQdo/DIIhRvrE=

I hope, this will resolve the No application encryption key has been specified. error.

Thank you

Hello,

Please download the latest file. I have just updated. You need php7.4 for latest version. Please update your php to 7.4 and then try to install the latest file. If you still have issue, please let me know.

Thank you

Hello,

By same error, you mean unexpected '=>' (T_DOUBLE_ARROW)? If yes, then your php version isn't php7.4 Please double check. If any other error, please let me know the error details.

Thank you

Hello,

The domain path should be set to public in the SBM files. You can't have /public/ in your url 😦

You can add a virtual that points to the SBM/public folder and then access the installer from that host.

Laravel installation is not same as CodeIgniter v3. You will need to set the domain root path to public folder. You can refer to this article Xampp Virtual Host

If still can't manage, please try to install it on live server so that I can check it for you.

Thank you
