Larva is a forum web application built with Laravel.

To install the necessary dependencies, run:

$ composer install

To prepare the database, run:

$ php artisan migrate

To run the application without setting up a web server:

$ php artisan serve

Testing is done with PHPUnit and tests can be run with:

$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit

Tests use an in-memory SQLite database by default, so installing the php5-sqlite driver may be necessary:

# For Debian/Ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite
