- Latest version of Xampp (https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html)
- Latest version of Composer (https://getcomposer.org/download/)
- A command line tool like Git Bash (https://gitforwindows.org/)
- An IDE of your choice. I'd recommend installing IntelliJ using your student licence (https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/#section=windows)
- Clone this repository to a directory of choice on your local machine.
- Make sure the DocumentRoot in Xampp, httpd.conf, is set to the correct directory where the project is cloned to.
- Open the project in you IDE.
- Run
composer install. - Create a database using Xampp's MySQL module. Open localhost/phpmyadmin in the browser, add a new database and give it a name to your liking.
- In your local project, add the database name to the .env.example file in the project root folder. Save the file and either rename is to .env or save it as .env
- Now run
php artisan key:generate - And run
php artisan migrate - You should be able to open the website now via localhost, create an account and so on.
