Hope you have apache installed and your application is running on it. 1. Create a .htaccess file in your project folder            vim .htaccess 2. Add the following lines to the file           AuthType Basic           AuthName "By Invitation Only"           AuthUserFile /Users/home/password_file   #(path to store your u/p)           Require valid-user        3. Run the command            sudo htpasswd -c /Users/home/password_file amal    # (Generates a user - amal & crypted password)  4. Restart Apache  if needed
