Instalation

  1. Clone GitHub repo for this project locally

    git clone https://github.com/utshab-roy/lara-QA.git
    1

  2. cd into your project

    cd larab-QA
    1

  3. Create a copy of your .env file

    cp .env.example .env
    1

    This will create a copy of the .env.example file in your project and name the copy simply .env.

  4. Install Composer Dependencies

    composer install
    1

  5. Install NPM Dependencies

    npm install
    1

    Or you can use

    yarn install
    1

  6. Generate an app encryption key

    php artisan key:generate
    1

    If you check the .env file again, you will see that it now has a long random string of characters in the APP_KEY field. We now have a valid app encryption key.

  7. Create an empty database for our application

  8. In the .env file, add database information to allow Laravel to connect to the database

    In the .env file fill in the DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD options to match the credentials of the database you just created. This will allow us to run migrations and seed the database in the next step.

  9. Migrate the database

    php artisan migrate
    1

    It’s not a bad idea to check your database to make sure everything migrated the way you expected.

  10. [Optional]: Seed the database

    php artisan db:seed
    1

This will create some random data for the site in order to get started.

Now you are ready to use the Application
