##How to install:

• Step 1: Get the code
• Step 2: Use Composer to install dependencies
• Step 3: Configure Mailer
• Step 4: Create database
• Step 5: Install
• Step 6: Start Page

---

Step 1: Get the code - Download the repository

https://github.com/mrakodol/Laravel-5-Bootstrap-3-Starter-Site/archive/master.zip

Extract it in www(or htdocs if you using XAMPP) folder and put it for example in laravel5startersite folder.

---

Step 2: Use Composer to install dependencies

Laravel utilizes Composer to manage its dependencies. First, download a copy of the composer.phar. Once you have the PHAR archive, you can either keep it in your local project directory or move to usr/local/bin to use it globally on your system. On Windows, you can use the Composer Windows installer.

Then run:

composer install

to install dependencies Laravel and other packages.

---

Step 3: Configure Mailer

In the same fashion, copy the config/mail.php configuration file in config/local/mail.php. Now set the address and name from the from array in config/mail.php. Those will be used to send account confirmation and password reset emails to the users. If you don't set that registration will fail because it cannot send the confirmation email.

---

Step 4: Create database

If you finished first three steps, now you can create database on your database server(MySQL). You must create database with utf-8 collation(uft8_general_ci), to install and application work perfectly. After that, copy .env.example and rename it as .env and put connection and change default database connection name, only database connection, put name database, database username and password.

---

Step 5: Install

Now that you have the environment configured, you need to create a database configuration for it. For create database tables use this command:

php artisan migrate

And to initial populate database use this:

php artisan db:seed

If you install on your localhost in folder laravel5startersite, you can type on web browser:

http://localhost/laravel5startersite/www

---
