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 :)
