Next, you need to configure the environment variables for Dalton Plan. Navigate to the root directory of the Dalton Plan repository and create a .env file using the following command:

cd daltonplan/
cp .env.example .env

Then edit the .env file with your favorite text editor:

nano .env

And replace the following variables with appropriate values:

DB_DATABASE=daltonplan
DB_USERNAME=daltonplan
DB_PASSWORD=password

Note: Replace "password" with the password you set for the MySQL user.
