# Laravel Version

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

## Get Composer packages <a href="#get-composer-packages" id="get-composer-packages"></a>

`composer install`

## permissions <a href="#permissions" id="permissions"></a>

```
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 <a href="#database-credentials" id="database-credentials"></a>

open`.env`and modify database details with yours

## compile assets <a href="#compile-assets" id="compile-assets"></a>

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

**Note :**&#x54;he 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 `7.0.0`,

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 5.5 , the minimum version of php required is`7.0.0`and

the following php extensions are rquired

* PHP >= 7.0.0
* OpenSSL PHP Extension
* PDO PHP Extension
* Mbstring PHP Extension
* Tokenizer PHP Extension
* XML PHP Extension

from 5.5 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:**&#x49;f bower gives warning that you are running as administrator, please run the command`bower install --allow-root`
