+           SOCIALBASE EXTENSION INSTALLATION GUIDE
+================================================================================
+
+This guide installs the SocialBase extension for Paymenter. SocialBase is the 
+foundation extension that provides user profiles, messaging, and social features.
+
+================================================================================
+QUICK INSTALL
+================================================================================
+
+Single Line Install:
+--------------------
+php artisan migrate --path=extensions/Others/SocialBase/database/migrations --force && npm run build && php artisan config:clear && php artisan view:clear && php artisan cache:clear && php artisan route:clear
+
+================================================================================
+STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
+================================================================================
+
+Step 1: Prepare
+---------------
+cd /var/www/paymenter
+sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .
+sudo chmod -R 755 .
+
+Make sure .env is configured and the site loads.
+
+Step 2: Upload Extension
+------------------------
+Place the SocialBase folder in extensions/Others/:
+
+extensions/Others/
+└── SocialBase/
+    ├── SocialBase.php
+    ├── database/migrations/
+    ├── resources/
+    ├── Admin/
+    ├── Livewire/
+    ├── Models/
+    └── Policies/
+
+Step 3: Run Migrations
+---------------------
+php artisan migrate --path=extensions/Others/SocialBase/database/migrations --force
+
+Step 4: Build Assets
+-------------------
+Using NPM (default):
+( [ -f package-lock.json ] && npm ci || npm install )
+npm run build
+
+Using Yarn (optional):
+( [ -f yarn.lock ] && yarn install --frozen-lockfile || yarn install )
+yarn build
+
+Step 5: Clear Caches
+-------------------
+php artisan config:clear
+php artisan view:clear
+php artisan cache:clear
+php artisan route:clear
+
+Step 6: Enable in Admin
+-----------------------
+1. Login → Admin Panel → Extensions → Others
+2. Enable SocialBase
+3. Configure settings as needed
+
+NOTE: SocialBase should be enabled FIRST before Reviews or Forum, as they 
+depend on it.
+
+Step 7: Configuration
+--------------------
+- User Profiles: Avatar/banner settings, profile customization
+- Messaging: Private messaging preferences
+- Social Features: Comments, reactions, notifications
+
+================================================================================
+VERIFY INSTALLATION
+================================================================================
+
+Routes contain social features?
+php artisan route:list | grep -Ei 'social|profile|message'
+
+Tables exist?
+mysql -u root -p -e "USE paymenter; SHOW TABLES LIKE '%user_profiles%';"
+
+Frontend rebuilt?
+[ -d public/build ] && echo 'Assets built ✔' || echo 'Build missing ✖'
+
+================================================================================
+TROUBLESHOOTING
+================================================================================
+
+- "Extension not visible" → Clear caches (php artisan view:clear && 
+  php artisan cache:clear), then re-check admin panel.
+
+- DB errors → Confirm .env DB credentials, run migrations again.
+
+- Styles missing → Rebuild assets (npm run build or yarn build) and hard 
+  refresh the browser.
+
+- Permission denied → Re-apply chown/chmod from Step 1.
+
+================================================================================
+DONE!
+================================================================================
+SocialBase is now installed! You can now install Reviews and Forum extensions 
+which depend on this foundation.
