School Management System Build on Laravel 12

School Management System Built on Laravel 12

Introduction

Hello and welcome!
In this tutorial, I’ll guide you step by step through the process of cloning a Laravel project from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket and setting it up on a fresh Ubuntu server. Whether you're working with Laravel 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or the latest Laravel 12, this guide will walk you through the entire process.

We’ll cover everything from cloning the repository to setting up the necessary environment so your Laravel application runs smoothly on your server.

Let’s get started and clone your Laravel app by following the steps below!

Click to Download Project

Click to Download Admin Template

 Prerequisites:

* Git: Git is a version control system that tracks source code changes during software development. Make sure Git is installed on your system. You can download Git from https://git-scm.com/ and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

* PHP: Laravel requires PHP to be installed on your system. You need PHP 8.2 or higher. You can check your PHP version by running php -v in your terminal.

* Composer: Composer is a dependency manager for PHP and is used to install Laravel and its dependencies. You can download Composer from https://getcomposer.org/ and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

* Web Server: You'll need a web server to serve your Laravel application. While Laravel comes with a built-in development server, it's recommended that Apache or Nginx be used for production deployments.

* Database: If the cloned project uses a database, make sure you have the required database management system (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) installed on your system. 

Steps to Clone and Set Up the Project:

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

https://github.com/StarCodeKh/School-Management-System-Build-on-Laravel-12.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.).

Navigate to the Project Directory:

Change into the project directory using the following command:

cd <project-directory>

Replace <project-directory> with the name of your project directory.

Install Composer Dependencies:

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

composer install

Create a Copy of the Environment File:

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

cp .env.example .env

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

Generate Application Key:

Run the following command to generate the application key:

php artisan key:generate

Update Your Database Credentials

After that, update your database credentials in your .env file in your project root.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_db
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=#your database password

Migrate Database:

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

php artisan migrate

Serve the Application:

Finally, you can use the following command to start the Laravel development server:

php artisan serve

This will make your application accessible at http://localhost:8000 by default.
