Question about Installing Cachet

[y-ohara8814]

(First of all, I'm japanese and so my English may not be good、sorry.)
Hi,
I'm trying to install CachetHQ ,following official documantation(https://docs.cachethq.io/docs/installing-cachet#section-running-cachet-on-apache).

But some problems occuered and my job stopped.

1.can not find .env file in Cachet
Following official documentation,

Configuring a database
By default Cachet comes with a .env.example file. You'll need to rename this file to just .env regardless of what environment you're working on.

But after I downloaded source code with Git, there is no .env file in Cachet directory.
So I made .env file which includes some text written in official documentation as "Text".
Is it right way or Did I make any mistake when downloading source code??

2.way to set application key
Following official documentation,

php artisan key:generate

But when I execute this command, the following message appears.

Could not open input file: artisan

To create application key, what is lacking on my environment?

I hope someone whould give some advice to me...

What linux distribution are you on?

Hello!

In the Cachet directory, do the following:

1. Copy .env.example to .env
2. Run composer install --no-dev -o (Make sure you have composer)
3. Run php artisan key:generate
4. Run php artisan app:install

Thanks for comments, but I could install CachetHQ myself.
(I executed install command on wrong directory and located source codes on wrong directory.
And I'm on Amazon linux so I investigated how to install required programs.)

However some problems still exist.
There is no instruction manual about CachetHQ in Japanese, so I can't run server monitoring operation.
Is there any instruction manual about CachetHQ in English?

Thanks for comment, jsargent7089.
But I already saw that website and installed CachetHQ successfully.
What I mean is, I want to know how to run CachetHQ and monitor the status of some website.

Now I can access the Dashboard but I can't find a textbox or something to enter the address and make the website to the target of monitoring status.
Maybe is it required that write website's address in some file directly to make the website to the target of monitoring status?Is the Dashboard only to monitor the statues?

Cachet doesn't do this natively. You need to use a plugin (see https://docs.cachethq.io/docs/addons).
