  • Run Laravel database migrations and seeds

      php artisan migrate --seed
    

Running in local environment

  • Create a symbolic link from "public/storage" to "storage/app/public"

      php artisan storage:link  
    
  • Run PHP build-in development server on the host machine

      php artisan serve  
    
  • Navigate to http://localhost:8000/

  • Enable Laravel Task Scheduling

    1. Open the cron tab file

       crontab -e
      
    2. Add the following line and save

       * * * * * php <path-to-project>/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
      

    On Windows:

    Open the Terminal as Administrator, navigate to the project's root folder and run:

      schtasks /create /sc minute /mo 1 /tn "RPG SCHEDULER" /tr %cd%\scheduler.bat
    

    To disable the annoying command-line pop-up each time the task runs:

    1. Open Windows "Run" dialog by pressing "Windows Key + r"
    2. Enter type "Taskschd.msc" and press Enter. This will open the "Task Scheduler".
    3. In Task Scheduler's "Active Tasks" section find the "RPG SCHEDULER" task and double-click it.
    4. In the left "Actions" panel click "Properties". This will open "Properties" pop-up.
    5. In the pop-up select the "Run whether user is logged in or not" and press Enter. You maybe asked for your Windows user's password to complete the process.

    To remove the scheduled task you can use

      schtasks /delete /tn "RPG SCHEDULER" /f
