To get this up and running you need to do a few things.

• Assuming Ubuntu - instal MySQL server:

  • sudo apt-get install mysql-server
  • And choose a password for the root user as it installs.

• Install php:

  • sudo apt-get install php5-common libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli

• Run this - fixes some error I kept getting:

  • sudo apt-get -y install php5-mysql

• Make a database in mysql -

  • login to mysql from terminal
    • mysql -u root -pWHATEVERPASSWORDYOUCHOSE
  • Once in mysql run this:
    • CREATE DATABASE websysproject;
      • (dont forget the semicolon)

• Go to https://getcomposer.org/ and run the command they give you

• Run this after composer has downloaded:

  • sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

• Edit your linux PATH.

  • To do this edit .bashrc in your home directory and add these two lines
    • PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH
    • export PATH
  • Save the .bashrc file and restart your terminal window.

• Run this:

  • composer global require "laravel/installer"

• Clone this repo with:

  • git clone https://github.com/xRokco/websysproject.git
  • This will create the websysproject folder in your home directory (assuming you ran the clone from your home directory.

• now create a file in the websysproject folder called .env

  • Copy the contents of .env.example which is in the websysproject folder into .env and edit these lines:
    • DB_DATABASE=websysproject //your database name, created as websysproject up above
    • DB_USERNAME=root //database username, root will do here
    • DB_PASSWORD=WHATEVERPASSWORDYOUCHOSE //password chose when you installed mysql
    • `MAPS_API=ghjcghjgchj //API keys
    • STRIPE_PRI=sk_test_sdfsdfsdf
    • STRIPE_PUB=pk_test_sdfsdfsdfsd
  • Save and close .env

• Next cd into the websysproject folder and run:

  • php artisan migrate
  • This creates the database tables we need from the various migration files.

• Next run this:

  • php artisan key:generate
  • This generates a key for your project.

• Project should be read to go now. Run this to start it up:

  • php artisan serve

• Now you can go to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser to test and develope on your web app.

• The command php artisan migrate:refresh --seed will rebuild your database if you need to reset the data to whatevers in the migrations and seeds if you mess something up, or if the seed/migrations files get changed.
