Require this package in the composer.json of your laravel project. This will download the requirements package:

composer require archytech/laramix

Once Composer has installed or updated, you need to register Informix Driver. Open up config/app.php and find the providers key and add:

'providers' => [
    /*
     * Package Service Providers ...
     */
    Archytech\Laravel\Ifx\InformixServiceProvider::class,
]

Finally you need to publish a configuration file by running the following artisan command.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Archytech\Laravel\Ifx\InformixServiceProvider"

This will copy the configuration file to config/informix.php

Add this configuration to .env file in the root of your project:

DB_IFX_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_IFX_SERVICE=9188
DB_IFX_DATABASE=laravel
