6. Install client side dependencies and build it: `yarn install` and `yarn build`
7. _Optional_ (speeds up first load): Warmup cache: `php bin/console cache:warmup`
8. Upgrade database to new scheme (or create it, when it was empty): `php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate` and follow the instructions given. **Caution**: This steps tamper with your database and could potentially destroy it. So make sure to make a backup of your database.
9. You can configure Part-DB via `config/parameters.yaml`. You should check if settings match your expectations, after you installed/upgraded Part-DB. Check if `partdb.default_currency` matches your mainly used currency (this can not be changed after creating price informations).
Run `php bin/console cache:clear` when you changed something.
When you want to upgrade to a newer version, then just copy the new files into the folder
and repeat the steps 4. to 7.
## Useful console commands
Part-DB provides some command consoles which can be invoked by `php bin/console [command]`. You can get help for every command with the parameter `--help`.
Useful commands are:
* `php bin/console app:set-password [username]`: Sets a new password for the user with the given username. Useful if you forget the password to your Part-DB instance.
* `php bin/console app:show-logs`: Show last activty log on console. Use `-x` options, to include extra column.
* `php bin/console app:update-exchange-rates`: Update the exchange rates of your currencies from internet. Setup this to be run in a cronjob to always get up-to-date exchange rates.
If you dont use Euro as base currency, you have to setup an fixer.io API key in `.env.local`.
* `php bin/console app:clean-attachments`: Removes all unused files (files without an associated attachment) in attachments folder.
Normally Part-DB should be able to delete the attachment file, if you delete the attachment, but if you have some obsolete files left over from legacy Part-DB you can remove them safely with this command.
* `php cache:clear`: Remove and rebuild all caches. If you encounter some weird issues in Part-DB, it maybe helps to run this command.
* `php .\bin\console doctrine:migrations:up-to-date`: Check if your database is up to date.
## Built with
* [Symfony 4](https://symfony.com/): The main framework used for the serverside PHP
* [Bootstrap 4](https://getbootstrap.com/) and [Fontawesome](https://fontawesome.com/) : Used for the webpages

Releases are available for Windows too, so almost everybody should be able to use PHP 7.2.5

exceptions are only logged to server log (by default under './var/log'), so only the server admins can access it.
* Profile labels are now saved in Database (before they were saved in a seperate JSON file). The profiles of legacy Part-DB versions can not be imported into new Part-DB 1.0
