Composer

Before doing anything else, you need to install all the project's dependencies with composer.

Within the directory for the project in the Vagrant VM, run:

$ composer install

Back-end

To begin the migrations and setup your database, run:

$ php artisan migrate

After the migrations run and set the database up, seed the database by running:

$ php artisan db:seed

Front-end

Development uses a typical Homestead setup for a virtual machine. Once the machine is up and running run vagrant ssh and change directories into the laravel project directory.

From the laravel project directory install the NPM modules, by running:

$ npm install

To install the Bower front-end packages, run:

$ bower install

To build the Front-end assets which will be added to a /public/dist/ directory, run:

$ gulp build

Laravel PHP Framework

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable, creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as authentication, routing, sessions, and caching.

Laravel aims to make the development process a pleasing one for the developer without sacrificing application functionality. Happy developers make the best code. To this end, we've attempted to combine the very best of what we have seen in other web frameworks, including frameworks implemented in other languages, such as Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET MVC, and Sinatra.

Laravel is accessible, yet powerful, providing powerful tools needed for large, robust applications. A superb inversion of control container, expressive migration system, and tightly integrated unit testing support give you the tools you need to build any application with which you are tasked.

Official Documentation

Documentation for the entire framework can be found on the Laravel website.
