Installation

For those of you familiar with setting up a webserver and/or website, this might seem fairly straight forward. For those of you that this is a new process to, I assure you it's not that difficult if you choose to setup a locally hosted webserver via XAMPP or MAMP. Work through the installation guides those tools provide and you should have the hard part out of the way.

Other than that, it's copying files from this repository by downloading the code and configuring the API access to Google and Bing. That in it self can be a bit daunting, but I assure you that if you follow the below instructions you'll be up and running without issues soon!

1. Setup a hosting environment. PHP (5.4.1+) and MySQL are required. This program can be run on a local machine - using XAMPP or MAMP works great for this configuration.
2. Copy the repository to the new hosting environment.
3. Within the new directory, create a directory named config.
4. Add a MySQL Database. Any database name can be used, though organic-search-analytics is suggested.
5. Import database structure. Using phpMyAdmin or other MySQL tools, import the file: organic-search-analytics/organic-search-analytics.sql
6. Setup Google API Access
7. Go to the Google Developers Console.
8. Click the Create Project button
9. Enter a name for this API access project, organic-search-analytics is suggested, and click the Create button
10. In the left hand navigation, choose Credentials.
11. Choose the oAuth consent screen tab across the top.

18. For Service account choose Compute Engine default service account.
19. Choose P12 and click the Create button. Click the Ok button to close the popup.
20. A file should have downloaded automatically - copy that file to your webserver to the /config directory.
21. Back on the Google Developer Console website, click on Manage service accounts. Copy the Service account ID (email address) and keep this handy - it's needed for step 7.IV and 8 below.
22. Go back to the API Manager page for this project by clicking on the hamburger menu icon in the top left (three horizontal lines) and choosing API Manager.
