Hotel System Management Project Laravel 10

Hotel System Management

Hello there,

In this tutorial, I'll guide you through the process of cloning a Laravel project from GitLab. While this guide primarily discusses cloning from GitHub, the steps apply equally to projects hosted on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. I will walk you through the process of cloning a Laravel project onto your server and setting up an Ubuntu environment from scratch.

This tutorial will provide you with step-by-step instructions on cloning Laravel projects from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. It is designed to help you clone and set up Laravel projects from version 6 to version 11.

Let’s dive into the steps below and complete the process of cloning the Laravel app.

Click to Download Project

Prerequisites:

• Git: Git is a version control system that tracks changes in source code during software development. Ensure Git is installed on your system. You can download Git from here and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

• PHP: Laravel requires PHP to be installed on your system. You need PHP version 7.3 or higher. You can check your PHP version by running php -v In your terminal.

• Composer: Composer is a dependency manager for PHP, used to install Laravel and its dependencies. You can download Composer from here and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

• Web Server: A web server is needed to serve your Laravel application. While Laravel comes with a built-in development server, it’s recommended to use Apache or Nginx for production deployments.

• Database: If the cloned project uses a database, ensure the necessary database management system (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) is installed on your system.

Steps to Clone and Set Up the Project:

1. Clone the Repository:

   Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to clone your Laravel project. Then, run the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/StarCodeKh/Hotel-Management-System-using-Laravel-11.git
   

   Replace <repository-url> with the URL of your Laravel project's Git repository. You can find this URL on your Git hosting service (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.).

2. Navigate to the Project Directory:

   Change into the project directory using the following command:

   cd <project-directory>
   

3. Install Composer Dependencies:

   Laravel uses Composer to manage its dependencies. Run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:

   composer install
   

4. Create a Copy of the Environment File:

   Laravel requires a .env file for configuration. Create a copy of the .env.example file and rename it to .env:

   cp .env.example .env
   

   Edit the .env file to set up your database connection and other configuration settings.

5. Generate the Application Key:

   Run the following command to generate the application key:

   php artisan key:generate
   

6. Update Database Credentials:

   In the .env file, update your database credentials:

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

7. Migrate the Database:

   Run the database migrations to create the necessary tables in your database:

   php artisan migrate
   

8. Serve the Application:

   Finally, start the Laravel development server with the following command:

   php artisan serve
   

   Your application will be accessible at http://localhost:8000 by default.
