Installation

To install the project you need to open your terminal and type this command

curl -s -O https://larafast.com/install && bash install [YOUR_PROJECT_NAME]

​
Step #1

Choose the boilerplate you want to install

 ┌ Choose your Boilerplate ───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
 │ › ● Larafast TALL Stack (Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, Laravel, Livewire)   │
 │   ○ Larafast VILT Stack (Vue.js, Inertia.js, Laravel, Tailwind CSS)    │
 │   ○ Larafast Directory Boilerplate                                     │
 │   ○ Larafast API Boilerplate                                           │
 └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
  Make sure you have access to git repository to install Larafast

​
Step #2

Select the database you want to use

 ┌ Choose your Database ────────────────────────────────────────┐
 │   ○ SQLite                                                   │
 │ › ● MySQL                                                    │
 │   ○ PostgreSQL                                               │
 │   ○ SQL Server                                               │
 └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
  Choose the database you want to use

​
Step #3

If you already have a repository, you can provide the URL

 ┌ Want to set up a new git repository? (Enter to skip) ────────┐
 │ https://github.com/karakhanyans-tools/larafast-tall.git      │
 └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
  Enter the git repository URL (Enter to skip)

That’s it!

Your boilerplate will be installed in the directory you provided.

​
Note:

The benefit of this approach is that you can install boilerplates with a single command and start working on your project right away. Also, it will add an upstream to the boilerplate repository so you can pull the latest changes from the boilerplate repository and keep your project up to date.

As GitHub by default allows only one fork per account, this approach allows you to install multiple boilerplates without any limitations and have the code up to date with main repo.

​
Alias

You can also add an alias to your .bashrc or .zshrc file to make the installation process even easier.

alias "larafast new"='curl -s -O https://larafast.com/install && bash install'

source ~/.bashrc

or if you use zsh

source ~/.zshrc

Now you can install Larafast boilerplates with a single command

larafast new [YOUR_PROJECT_NAME]
