Step 3: Configure the Application

Create the application directory:


mkdir -p /var/www/ai-education-studio
cd /var/www/ai-education-studio

Upload your application files to this directory. If you are cloning from a repository:


git clone <your-git-host>/<your-repo>.git .

Or upload the ZIP file and extract it:


unzip ai-education-studio.zip -d /var/www/ai-education-studio

Set Permissions


chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/ai-education-studio
chmod -R 755 /var/www/ai-education-studio
chmod -R 775 /var/www/ai-education-studio/storage
chmod -R 775 /var/www/ai-education-studio/bootstrap/cache

Warning: The storage and bootstrap/cache directories must be writable by the web server (www-data). Without this, the app will crash with permission errors.
