####This is a simplistic browser based Yahoo Messenger chat that uses bogcon/yahoo-messenger-api library.

1. Download source files
   • Using Git

git clone https://github.com/bogcon/webym.git

- Direct download of *.zip* archive from [here](https://github.com/bogcon/webym/archive/master.zip)  

2. Install depedencies using Composer
   Then you can run the Composer install/update command from the root directory of the project (where composer.json file resides)

# download composer (skip the next command if you already have composer)
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

# install dependencies
$ php composer.phar install
$ php composer.phar update

3. Copy webym/includes/config.local.php.dist to webym/includes/config.local.php and edit the last one with the API key and API secret obtained from Yahoo developer account after creating an application.

4. Configure a (virtual) host for the project

You now need to create an Apache virtual host for the application and edit your hosts file so that http://webym.dev will serve index.php from the webym/public directory.

Setting up the virtual host is usually done within `httpd.conf` or `extra/httpd-vhosts.conf`. If you are using `httpd-vhosts.conf`, ensure that this file is included by your main `httpd.conf` file.  

Some Linux distributions (ex: Ubuntu) package Apache so that configuration files are stored in /etc/apache2 and create one file per virtual host inside folder /etc/apache2/sites-enabled. In this case, you would place the virtual host block below into the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/webym.dev.conf, also you should copy the file or create a symlink into /etc/apache2/sites-available/webym.dev.conf (ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/webym.dev.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/webym.dev.conf)

Ensure that `NameVirtualHost` is defined and set to `*:80` or similar, and then define a virtual host along these lines:  

    <VirtualHost *:80>
            ServerName webym.dev
            ServerAlias www.webym.dev
            DocumentRoot /path/to/webym/public
            <Directory /path/to/webym/public>
                DirectoryIndex index.php
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
            </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>  

Make sure that you add the following line to your `/etc/hosts` or `C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts` file so that `webym.dev` is mapped to `127.0.0.1`.  

    127.0.0.1   webym.dev www.webym.dev  
After restarting apache, the website can then be accessed using `http://webym.dev` or `http://www.webym.dev`.
