I've writen this to build a process for creating modular based applications. It is basically Laravel 5.2 with a few commands and wrappers to sync everything automatically without having to manually add middleware, service providers or aliases and to manage frontend dependencies better without duplication libraries.

Firstly make sure you have bower installed, run bower to check.

npm install -g bower

and also make sure node is installed (https://nodejs.org/en/), run npm in terminal to check.

Create a local database called l5 with credentials root root (make sure it's empty).

Open up ~/.bash_profile and add the following function and then restart terminal : (for those with hidden files not visible and using sublimetext2 run /Applications/SublimeText2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl ~/.bash_profile in terminal)

[running source ~/.bash_profile from terminal will refresh without having to restart it]

alias composer="php ~/composer.phar"
alias artisan="php artisan"
function _ensphere {
	composer create-project ensphere/ensphere --repository-url=http://pmcom.packagist.wden.co.uk/ --stability=dev "$1"
}
alias ensphere=_ensphere

if you haven't got composer installed globally, go to https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar and save it in ~/composer.phar

Navigate to your documents folder

cd ~/Documents/

Create a testcase folder

mkdir testcase

and then cd into it

cd testcase

Create a default application or module by running

ensphere baseapp

This will run the standard composer create command along with some extra installation.

Hopefully this has all installed correctly so cd into baseapp and start a server up:

cd baseapp

artisan serve

(if you already have the default port in operation use artisan serve --port=8888)

Navigate to http://localhost:8000/admin/login in your browser and you should receive an error (404 Exception).

Now back to terminal and create a new tab in terminal (command + t) and then require the authentication module.

composer require ensphere/authentication:dev-master

Once installed, go back to your browser and hit refresh, boom!
