Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following requirements:

Step 1: Installing Git

First, we need to install Git, which is a version control system that helps in managing projects.

To install Git, run the following command in Terminal:

After the installation is complete, confirm by checking the installed version:

php --version

Step 3: Installing MySQL

Install MySQL on the system using the following commands:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo mysql_secure_installation

After installation is complete, verify MySQL is up and running:

sudo systemctl status mysql

Step 4: Installing Composer

Composer is a dependency management tool used to manage dependencies in PHP projects. Install it using the following commands:

cd ~
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer -o composer-setup.php

cp .env.example .env

Update the 'DB_DATABASE' value in the '.env' file with 'teammapper':

nano .env
DB_DATABASE=teammapper

Save and close the file.

Generate an application key using the command:

php artisan key:generate
