M+ Software CRUD

Installing Laravel

Laravel utilizes Composer to manage its dependencies. So, before using Laravel, make sure you have Composer installed on your machine. This can be downloaded from https://getcomposer.org/. Make sure to add composer to your path!

Via Laravel Installer

First, download the Laravel installer using Composer:

  composer global require "laravel/installer"

Make sure to place composer's system-wide vendor bin directory in your $PATH so the laravel executable can be located by your system. This directory exists in different locations based on your operating system; however, some common locations include:

• MacOS: $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin
• GNU / Linux Distributions: $HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin

Setting up the M+ Software CRUD Web Applications

• First is to set up the environment, copy and paste .env.example in the root directory. Then rename the file to .env
• Open the .env using text editor, then change DB_* part of the file to fit your database information.
• Set up application key for security purpose using php artisan key:generate
• Run the migration to set up the database structure as well as seeding the database with some initial data. First run composer dump-autoload, then run php artisan migrate:fresh --seed.
• Make sure to always run composer dump-autoload whenever there is problem related with database.
• Install dependencies using composer install and composer update
• If everything goes well with no trouble, you can move on to running the application in local development server

Local Development Server

If you have PHP installed locally and you would like to use PHP's built-in development server to serve your application, you may use the serve Artisan command. This command will start a development server at http://localhost:8000:

  php artisan serve
