Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have the following installed on your system:

PHP 8.2+
Composer (PHP dependency manager)
MySQL or MariaDB
Git

You can verify your versions using:

git --version

Step 1 – Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/StarCodeKh/Laravel-Template-Project-Dashboard.git

Step 2 – Create Environment File

Copy the example environment configuration file:


cp .env.example .env

Then open the .env file in your code editor and set up your database credentials and app URL:


APP_NAME="Laravel Admin"
APP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
