inKWell is an MVC framework built on Flourish (http://www.flourishlib.com) and Moor (http://www.github.com/jeffturcotte/moor). It is designed to be extremely lightweight and flexible. Unlike other frameworks nearly every aspect of it is designed to allow for easy overrides, including scaffolding.

The core framework follows a "KISS" philosophy. We begin by keeping core concepts and API to a minimum, providing only a handful of classes in that comprise the base framework and the 90% use case.

Installing inKWell should be pretty straightfoward. Git is the recommended installation medium. To install using Git simply type the following.

git clone --recursive git://github.com/dotink/inKWell.git <path_to_inkwell>

If you absolutely are unable to install via git, you can download requisite zip files from GitHub. You will need to download the following three repositories as zip files:

[1] http://github.com/dotink/inkwell [2] http://github.com/dotink/flourish [3] http://github.com/dotink/moor

Extract [1] into your desired installation path. Extract [2] into includes/lib/flourish inside the installation path. Extract [3] into incluces/lib/moor inside the installation path.

If you have .htaccess files enabled your site should already be working, 100% configured with clean URLs

If you are using apache with CGI or you do not have access to .htaccess or it is not enabled, you can usually work with a local php.ini file instead. By default this file is located in .user.ini which is the default location for PHP's distributed CGI as of version 5.3.

Contact your hosting provider if you are on an earlier version and move it to their supported filepath. Rewrite rules, will likely not be supported unless they can add them to your virtual host configuration.

NGINX works with PHP's distributed CGI or independently set up fastcgi install depending on the platform. For Windows users on 5.3 or later, the .user.ini file will suffice for PHP configuration.

For other users, reference the global php.ini file or contact your hosting provider for the needed location and move the .user.ini file to it.

Configuration of NGINX itself along with rewrite rules can be done by copying all or most of the directives from the provided nginx.conf.dist file and editing it where need be.
