Download and install Laravel, as well as Laravel Homestead to get your local environment up and running.
Make sure to follow all of the installation and configuration instructions, including setting up your own .env file. You can copy .env.example to get a good start.
Run npm install to install the needed packages for Laravel Elixir (gulp)
If you're using the default .env file - your database creds are:
Name: rest_fundaday-LOCAL (or equivalent)
Host: 127.0.0.1
Username: homestead
Password: secret
Port: 33060
Leave database field open for now - then connect and click Add Database... in the dropdown of the top right - name your db: restfad
Now that you've created your database, you can enter restfad on the credentials screen and save it as a favorite.
Open the Homestead.yaml file - it's probably here:
~/Homestead/Homestead.yaml
Add the following under sites
sites:
- map: restfundaday.app
to: /home/vagrant/Homestead/rest_fundaday/public
Next - carefully edit your /etc/hosts file and add this line
192.168.10.10 restfundaday.app
Make sure to save. Now back out to your ~/Homestead folder and run vagrant provision
Now you can visit (http://restfundaday.app) in your browser to see the app running.
cd into your Homestead folder - ideallly:
cd ~/Homestead
run:
vagrant up
This will get your virtual machine running.
Once it's running SSH into it using:
vagrant ssh
After you've SSH'd in, to get the latest db migrations, run:
php artisan migrate
Then you can run:
composer dumpautoload
