Install Chandra
We need to install following packages, run migrations and database seeding.
Delete existing migration files
Since we are not relying on default migration tables, please remove following two files from database/migrations folder
Otherwise you will get error at later stage of installation.
Setup HTML package
Laravel 5 doesn't come with HTML,FORM package by default,
if you want to use it... we need to add package manually
Since we use it in many places, we have to add it to our composer.json
Add Package to composer
open your composer.json file and add the following to the require array:
"illuminate/html": "~5.0", then in terminal/cmd run composer update
Add service providers
Open config/app.php and add following lines
In the $providers array add the following service provider
'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider',
In the $aliases array add following facades
'Form' => 'Illuminate\Html\FormFacade',
'Html' => 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade',
Setup sentry
Add Sentry to composer
Open your composer.json file and add the following to the require array:
"cartalyst/sentry": "dev-feature/laravel-5",
now in your command prompt run composer update and all required files will be added
Add sentry service provider
Now, we need to add sentry service provider to make use of it.
Open config/app.php and add following lines
In the $providers array add the following service provider
'Cartalyst\Sentry\SentryServiceProvider',
In the $aliases array add the following facade
'Sentry' => 'Cartalyst\Sentry\Facades\Laravel\Sentry',
Now we need to add user, groups etc tables to database, to do so in your command prompt, execute following code
Note: please check all files in database\migrations to know what fields are being added.
Now we need to publish config, so that you can edit configuration, if needed
Excecute following command in command prompt/terminal

Add admin user
As database tables have been setup, we need to add admin user to be able to login into adminCP.
Run following command in your command prompt
A default admin user with user with username admin@admin.com and password admin will be created
Optional: If you wish to use a different username or password, please open database\seeds\AdminSeeder.php and edit values around lines 14-18
upload directory permissions
user's profile pics will be uploaded into public/uploads/users
so we need to provide write access for that folder
