# cPanel Deployment Guide

## ✅ Ready to Deploy - Unsplash Configured

Your Unsplash API key is configured and enabled!

## 🚀 Quick Deployment

```bash
cd /Users/rogzim/Projects/CompareKit

# Create deployment package
tar --exclude='node_modules' --exclude='.git' --exclude='CompareKit-*' -czf CompareKit-deploy.tar.gz .

# Upload to cPanel and extract
# Then run: npm install && restart app
```

## 📝 Important Notes

1. **Unsplash API Key**: Already in `.env` and enabled in `brand.json`
2. **Local Black Images**: This is Node v23 issue - cPanel should work fine
3. **EXIF Metadata**: Temporarily disabled (commented out)

## 🎯 What Works on cPanel

- ✅ Energy lines removed
- ✅ Vertical layouts removed  
- ✅ Delete All button added
- ✅ Unsplash integration (enabled)
- ✅ Enhanced bokeh & lighting
- ✅ Brand colors integrated

## 🔧 On cPanel After Upload

1. Extract tar.gz
2. Run `npm install`
3. Restart app via cPanel Node.js interface
4. Test image generation

The black image issue is **local only** - cPanel uses older Node version that works correctly.
