Create a .env file with the contents of the .env.example file and paste your own project ID as well as your own API secret.

Also make sure that you have PHP as well as Composer installed and accessible from your shell.

Usage

Then you can run the project locally by first downloading all dependencies with composer install and then starting the local instance with php artisan serve.
