# Installation

This dashboard template is based on laravel default template. it was created with: 

```bash
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
```

Before proceeding you’ll need to have the latest stable [PHP](https://www.php.net/), [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) and [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) installed on your machine.

## To get started follow these steps

1. Open your favorite console application (Terminal, iTerm, Command Prompt, etc.). 
   1. Navigate to the `datta-able-laravel/`folder and **Install packages**:
      1. Run command: `npm i,` `npm install` or `yarn install`.
2. To install php packages run command:`composer install` 
3. To Create database tables run:  `php artisan migrate`
4. To Create database users run:`php artisan migrate --seed`
5. To run the project locally:
   1. Run this command in separate terminal: `php artisan serve`
   2. Run this command in separate terminal: `gulp`
   3. Open <http://localhost:8000> to view it in the browser.&#x20;
6. To builds the app for production `gulp prod-build`. It will create the `public/assets/` folder inside this project directory. It correctly bundles JS and SCSS files in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance. The build is minified. For Laravel deployment please visit its [documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/deployment). to compile Laravel JS and scss file run: `npm run prod`.

You can find detailed instructions on using Laravel and many tips in [its documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x).
