Manual installation error - sqlite database file doesn't exist

[christoferd]

On Windows 11, using Git Bash
Manual install from Downloaded Zip: thedevdojo-wave-3.0.6-0-gbfdf3f6.zip
I copied the .env file and removed any stub stuff
then ran composer install
the install fails on one of the post-autoload commands

Can't even run php artisan now

Not sure what's happening. Now I just get a DB error. So, somehow I assume it's finding the DB file.

This part in the documentation is incorrect for my case.... I found the file here: /storage/database.sqlite

[christoferd]

This is ridiculous. I can't call php artisan migrate because the system is trying to access the themes table in the database.

Why would it do this before a migration?

Have you tried just creating the empty file at database/database.sqlite and then run php artisan migrate?

[christoferd]

I did not try creating an empty file.

I was installing with the mysql option, not sqlite.

So in this case it sounds like your .env file was incorrect, as the errors that you've shared are telling another story.
