Setting up the environment

1. clone the git

2. composer update --no-scripts

3. cp .env.example .env

4. php artisan key:generate

5. Create db and change the credential inside the env file[DB name, Username, password]

6. Before doing the migrate check if the AppServiceProvider is config for the 191 string length add the following line in the top of the AppServiceProvider.php file

   use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

Then add the following schema inside the boot function

  schema::defaultStringLength(191);

This will prevent from database error when migrated as the length will be 1024 and the mysql db gives default length 1000
7. php artisan migrate

here no need: 8. php artisan migrate:refresh --seed (It will create a new user dummy one in the system automatically, admin, admin@gmail.com, secret plus all the needed seed for the catagory)

About Laravel

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as:

• Simple, fast routing engine.
• Powerful dependency injection container.
• Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
• Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
• Database agnostic schema migrations.
• Robust background job processing.
• Real-time event broadcasting.

Laravel is accessible, yet powerful, providing tools needed for large, robust applications.
