Installation

First, you need to purchase the LinkDrop from codecanyon (opens in a new tab). After that, you have to download the source code as a zip file from there.
Step 2: Upload Source Code.
To install LinkDrop on your server, you first need to upload the zip file to the server where you want to deploy the app. Once the file is uploaded, you can then extract the contents of the zip file on your server. This can typically be done using a file manager or command-line tools like unzip. With the files extracted, you can then proceed to configure and customize LinkDrop according to your needs.
Step 3: Create a .env file
After extracting the LinkDrop source code on your server, the next step is to create a .env file. This is a simple process, as you will find an .env.example file included in the extracted files. To create the .env file, simply make a copy of the .env.example file and rename it to .env. The .env file is an essential part of the LinkDrop setup, as it contains important details such as database credentials, API keys, and other application settings. By configuring this file correctly, you can ensure that LinkDrop runs smoothly and securely on your server. Now you can browse your app by app domain.
