First of all, you need to install Laravel to run this project on your localhost.
- First get PHP and all its extension laravel depends on

On Ubuntu you can get them by using,
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php php-mysql php-mcrypt php-curl php-mbstring php-gettext php-zip
sudo apt install mysql-server mysql-client
- Then install Composer (PHP's dependencies manager). Depending on you OS you can get it from Donwload Composer
On Ubuntu the best way to gloabally install composer is,
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
or if you want to use curl,
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
Now composer will be availabe to you as a command.
- Clone this repository, enter the project's directory and install all dependencies using composer
composer install
- Make a
mysqldatabase
mysql -u <username> -p
create database database_name;
Ctrl + C
- Generate the key

cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
Open the file in any editor and make the changes in the following lines
DB_DATABASE=<database_name>
