This project is developed using Laravel Sail. After you installed all dependencies, the site should be running on http://localhost:8000. Use vendor/bin/sail npm run watch to compile the frontend assets and vendor/bin/sail artisan initializer:update-template to quickly download the latest version of default laravel/laravel application into your storage.
A devcontainer.json configuration is prepared, so you can easily contribute through a GitHub code space or develop inside a container using VS Code. In this case a lot of the setup process is automated for you. If you want better auto-completion or auto-imports, follow the the intelephense extension quick start guide.
If you like supporting the project, consider sponsoring, as hosting websites costs money.
Alternatively you could also register for DigitalOcean using the link below. Everyone signing up trough that link gets 100$ in platform credit to play around with for 60 days. If you decide to spend 25$ on DigitalOcean, I get 25$ in platform credit, which is enough to host the site for 5 months.
