# Laravel 5.4

## 5.4 Installation

The zip file contains all laravel files integrated with Chandra, however you need to perform following steps to get vendors etc.

### Get Composer packages

`composer install`

### permissions

```
chmod -R 775 storage

chmod 775 bootstrap/cache
```

If you are on linux/ mac you can run below command to chown it.

```
chown -R www-data /var/www
```

### database credentials

open `.env` and modify database details with yours

### add tables to database

`php artisan migrate`

### add admin to users table

`php artisan db:seed --class=AdminSeeder`

### compile assets

> If you don't have good knowledge on nodejs and npm, you can copy public folder files from codecanyon's downloaded files

**Note :** The above step is completely optional , if you are not comfortable with this, you can skip it and perform the below steps, still it works fine.

Make sure you have [nodejs](https://nodejs.org) installed in your system with minimum version `6.10.0`,

you can check installed version by running `node -v` command in terminal.

If you are having older version, please install latest version from [nodejs.org](http://nodejs.org/)

For laravel 5.4 , the minimum version of php required is `5.6.4` and

the following php extensions are rquired

* PHP >= 5.6.4
* OpenSSL PHP Extension
* PDO PHP Extension
* Mbstring PHP Extension
* Tokenizer PHP Extension
* XML PHP Extension

from 5.4 onwards, Laravel team decided to move to webpack from gulp

so assets compilation differs a bit.

They introduced a new npm package for webpack called `mix`

you can read more about it [here](https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/mix)

install local packages

`yarn install`

get bower components

`bower install`

move assets to public

`npm run dev`

 **Note:** If bower gives warning that you are running as administrator, please run the command `bower install --allow-root`

## Congratulations

open your website and now it should be fully working :)
