# Fresh Installation ## Fresh Installation **When you download files from codecanyon, you will see a zip folder named 'ready\_to\_use.zip' which has everything pre-configured** If you are starting a new project, you can use this version and you don't need to go through the process of setting up everything. This version is a bit different than the original one because everything configured properly In fact this will take less time compared to installing from CodeCanyon's files #### add vendors we don't push vendors to git as they can grow like anything (a default feature of laravel or any composer related projects) `composer install` ### create .env file Since .env file is not included, we need to create that (again a security measure of not to expose your database details to anyone else) `cp .env.example .env` ### generate key Every app needs a key which is being used for many purposes including salting your passwords `php artisan key:generate` ### permissions ``` chmod -R 755 storage chmod 755 bootstrap/cache ``` ### database credentials open `.env` and change database details with yours ### add tables to databaes `php artisan migrate` ### add admin to users table `php artisan db:seed --class=AdminSeeder` ## Congratulations open your website and now it should be fully working :) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
