Hi, i tried to install php project in localhost using xampp and encounter the error below. Please advise how to solve the issue. Thanks.

Filename: libraries/Encrypt.php
Line Number: 338

I do not know if this is the answer. Read https://github.com/AsgardCms/Platform/issues/271 about a command to run after install and later comments.
Hi,
in this case the artisan command won't solve the issue, because it's PHP telling those functions are deprecated as PHP 7.1.0.
The Mcrypt library has been declared deprecated and will be moved to PECL with the release of PHP 7.2.0, this because it relies on libmcrypt which has not been developed or mantained since 2007, see:
To solve, update the code with an alternative library.
Thanks a lot for your advise rproffitt & cereal.

You're welcome, I just realized you are usign CodeIgniter here, then you can use the Encryption library rather than the Encrypt library which is deprecated in the framework, see:
