If you are not a member of our organisation, you may either want to create a fork of this repository so you can clone it on your device, or simply download the search-app directory using this link. If you are using WSL + GitHub Desktop to clone the project, you will need to map your network drive if you haven't done so already so that GitHub Desktop knows the correct location to clone the repo.
Now, you will need to install a few packages and dependencies in order to run the laravel project. The following instructions are for Linux or WSL environments, but you should also be able to successfully run the website on macOS as well.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install nodejs
sudo apt install unzip
Linux:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://php.new/install/linux)"
MaxOS:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://php.new/install/mac)"
sudo apt-get install php-mbstring php-xml php-json php-zip php-curl
sudo apt install python3-rapidfuzz
Now you want to either close the terminal and reopen, or use source.
Navigate to search-app and type composer install into the terminal, followed by php artisan serve . Now you should be able to access the application by clicking the url in the terminal.
