Installation

If you have installed the project using the Larafast Installer, you can skip this steps.

To install the project you need to open your terminal and type these commands

​
Clone repo and install composer

git clone git@github.com:karakhanyans-tools/larafast-directories.git [YOUR_PROJECT_NAME]
cd [YOUR_PROJECT_NAME]
composer install

​
Create .env file

cp .env.example .env

​
Create APP_KEY just run:

php artisan key:generate

​
Change admin user details

Open the database/seeders/AdminSeeder.php file and update the default admin user details.

database/seeders/AdminSeeder.php
$user = User::create([
    'name' => 'Admin',
    'email' => 'admin@example.com',
    'password' => bcrypt('1111'),
]);

$user->assignRole('admin');

If you plan to use different roles, update the database/seeders/RoleSeeder.php file.

​
Categories and Products

To modify pre-defined categories and products before running migrations, update the database/seeders/CategorySeeder.php and database/seeders/ProductSeeder.php files.

Details about how to manage categories can be found in Categories documentation.

​
Run migrations

By default DB_CONNECTION is set to SQLite, feel free to change it to MySQL or any preferred DB.

To use MySQL as a database, update the .env file with the new database credentials.

.env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_db_name
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

Run the migrations and seed the database with the following command:

php artisan migrate --seed

or

php artisan migrate:fresh --seed

​
Install NPM and Run

npm install
npm run dev

​
Run Local Server

Laravel comes with a handy artisan serve command to run a local server. Feel free to use Valet or any other local server management tools.

php artisan serve

That’s it. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ and see your website!

Don’t forget to remove the starter kit’s git configs. To do so: rm -rf .git - to init fresh git folder later git remote remove origin
