First thing you want to do before installing BeMusic is to create a new database on your mysql server. If you already know how to do this/or have already created one just skip to the next step.
Your host will most likely be running phpMyAdmin as mysql manager, if that's the case here's a step by step guide (if not the proccess will be very similar on other managers).
Login to your control panel, find and click phpMyAdmin link: Click on the database tab in the top menu, enter any name you like and click create.
After creating a database, unzpip the .zip file you donwloaded from CodeCanyon and upload the contents of BeMusic folder to your servers root folder (usually called www or html or something similar) or a sub-directory, shared hosting providers usually have a web based file manager, but you should use something like Filezilla to do the upload as the web based managers can cause various problems fairly often.
Make sure that application/storage and all the sub-folders are writable by your server (have 777 permissions if you are on shared hosting). You can change files and folders permissions by right-clicking them in the filemanager, clicking file permissions, and then entering 777 in the permissions field.
After you uploaded BeMusic files, simply open up your site url and follow on-screen instructions to finish the installation.
By default only local provider is included with BeMusic, it allows you to use BeMusic as CMS (creating everything manually from admin area). If you want to fetch data (artists, albums, songs etc) automatically, you will need to download a data provider for a 3rd party site you want to use.
For example, let's say you want to use Spotify as a source for data on your site. Go HERE, download Spotify folder and paste it into app/Application/Services/Providers folder on your server. Then get your spotify keys (instructions HERE) and enter them into admin area > settings > 3rd party keys panel, select Spotify for all (or some) providers in admin area > settings > providers section.
You don't necessarily need to use one provider for everything, you can pick and choose. For example, you can use Spotify for artist information and local for top 50 songs, so you can fetch artist information automatically but create top 50 chart yourself from admin area.
Some providers might require you to register for an API Key. You can find instructions on how to acquire those keys in API Keys section of documentation.
Note that some providers might have restrictions on commercial usage of their APIs, you'll need to take a look into their Terms of Service and determine yourself if it's appropriate for you to use them!
In order make some features of the BeMusic work you will need to register for a some API Keys. Check out the sections below for information on how to get them. Once you've got your keys simply enter them in corresponding fields in admin area -> third party services and keys.
This key is required in order to play music on BeMusic. You can use the same google app you have created for social login and google anlytics (refer to social login google section of the docs). Simply create a new api key from your google project page and enable youtube api from the same page. Note: leave refferers field empty. Then enter this key in admin area > settings > 3rd party keys > Youtube API Key.
This key is optional. It's needed to enable last.fm genres provider. To get last.fm api key, register for an account here, once registered you'll be able to see your api key, simply enter it in admin area > settings > 3rd party keys > Last.fm API Key.
To get these keys, login or register here, accept all the terms, then create a new application at this url (you can enter anything in name and description fields), then you will be able to see your keys, simply enter them in admin area > settings > 3rd party keys > Spotify ID and Spotify Secret fields.
This key is optional. It's only required if you will use soundcloud instead if youtube for streaming music. To get SoundClound api key, register for an account here, once you have created an activated your account you will need to create a new app here after creating your app, you'll be able to see your client ID and Secret, you will need to enter Client ID in admin area > settings > 3rd party keys > SoundCloud API Key.
You can generate a sitemap either by visiting http://yoursite.com/generate-sitemap url (make sure you are logged in as admin) or clicking Generate Sitemap button in admin area > settings > general site settings panel.
In order to make mail work (for password reset and other functions), you will need to register for mailgun/mandrill API key or enter your SMTP server details. Mandrill/Mailgun are the prefered options because they usually don't have problems that occur when using public smtp servers (like gmail or your hostings private one).
To register for mandrill key go to this url, create a new account and then log in. Then click get api keys -> +add api key
Then simply copy mandrill api key and enter it into corresponding field in admin area > settings > mail
Register here
In the next page click Add Your Domain button, then enter your site url in the Domain Name field and click Add Domain
Follow the instructions in the next page to update your DNS records (you can most likely find instructions on how to do it on your hosting/domain providers website.
If you want to use SMTP instead, go to admin area > settings > mail and simply change mandrill to SMTP and enter your smtp server credentials.
Analytics page is powered by google analytics so you will need to register for google analytics and add their supplied code to your site. Here's how to do it.
You will also need to enter your google ID in the same page for analytics to work. It's the same ID as for google social login so refer to documenation on social login to see how to get that key. Only make sure that enable google analytics API from google developers console and enter your site url in javascript origins field.
Once you have created analytics account and entered it in settings page, go to admin area -> analytics, click on Access google analytics button, then click accept
And you are done. You can now easily view analytics information right from the admin area. You can also select different analytics account, property and view from the bottom of the page.
From appearence page you can modify how your site looks by changing colors, fonts, sizes and more. Simply change the value in the field you want and click save on the right. BeMusic will compile a custom css stylesheet (just as if it was written by a programmer!) without you needing to have any coding knowledge. Original stylesheet will be preserved so you can switch back at any time. You can also create multiple stylesheets(light, dark etc) and switch them at any time from panel on the left. You can also insert custom css, by typing it into custom css panel.
Note that variables and functions might sometimes be used in some of the appearence fields. These are very simple to understand. For example, by default main background color is lighten($main-color, 5%), this simply means that it will take the color value from $main-color field in appearence page (#19191b by default) and make that color 5% lighter.
You can translate BeMusic right from the admin area so there's no need to mess with configuration files or 3rd party applications. Simpley open translations page and enter your translation for a particular line under translation column in the table.
Note that while you can translate the original (englsish) locale, it is recommended to create a new one (frome the panel on the left) so you don't need to worry about overwriting it with future updates.
From users page, you can get an overview of your site users, create a new one, delete existing ones and edit their profile information.
On the settings page you can change various options on your site from your homepage view to user registration. There's a description under each options so you shouldn't have any troubles figuring out which setting does what.
