Let’s dive into the steps and complete the Laravel project setup.

Click to Download Project

Prerequisites

Before cloning and running a Laravel project, make sure the following tools are installed on your system:

• Git: A version control system used to track code changes.
  Download Git and follow the installation guide for your operating system.

• PHP: Laravel requires PHP version 7.3 or higher.
  ▶️ Check your installed version with:

  php -v
  

• Composer: A dependency manager for PHP used to install Laravel packages.
  Download Composer and follow the instructions for your OS.

• Web Server: While Laravel provides a built-in development server, it's recommended to use Apache or Nginx for production environments.

• Database: Ensure your system has a supported database (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) if the project requires one.

Steps to Clone and Set Up the Laravel Project

1. Clone the Repository

Open your terminal and navigate to the folder where you want to clone the project, then run:

git clone https://gitlab.com/SoengSouy/admin-dashboard-sample-laravel-9.git

Replace the URL if you're using a different repository.

2. Navigate to the Project Directory

cd admin-dashboard-sample-laravel-9

3. Install Dependencies with Composer

composer install

4. Set Up the Environment Configuration

Create a copy of the example .env file:

cp .env.example .env

Then, edit the .env file to match your environment settings (especially database configuration).

5. Generate the Application Key

php artisan key:generate

6. Configure Database Credentials

In your .env file, set your database connection details:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_db
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=your_password

7. Run Database Migrations

php artisan migrate

This command will create the necessary tables in your configured database.

8. Start the Development Server

php artisan serve

By default, your Laravel application will be accessible at:
