Setting up the environment
clone the git

composer update --no-scripts

cp .env.example .env

php artisan key:generate

Create db and change the credential inside the env file[DB name, Username, password]

Before doing the migrate check if the AppServiceProvider is config for the 191 string length add the following line in the top of the AppServiceProvider.php file

use IlluminateSupportFacadesSchema;

Then add the following schema inside the boot function

  schema::defaultStringLength(191);
This will prevent from database error when migrated as the length will be 1024 and the mysql db gives default length 1000
7. php artisan migrate 8. php artisan migrate:refresh --seed (It will create a new user dummy one in the system automatically, admin, admin@gmail.com, secret plus all the needed seed for the catagory)
